On Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at FirstPark in Oakland at 9:00 am, people will be running or walking in solidarity against the harsh reality of the impact of sexual violence in our Maine communities. Inspired by the current Maine statistic of an estimated ONE in FIVE people in Maine have been affected by sexual violence (Muskie School of Public Policy, Maine Crime Victimizations Rates, 2011), the Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center is hosting the 15th annual One in Five 5k race. You can choose to sign up for the virtual race which we have extended to May 10th, or you can join us at FirstPark on April 26th. This event is taking place in the month of April to honor Sexual Assault Awareness Month!

Learn about oyster farming from some of Maine’s premier oyster growers on this tasty two-hour river cruise! Hear how oysters are cultivated, harvested, and taken to market, and discover why the watersheds where they are grown impact their flavor. Each guest will receive a ticket for a dozen oysters on the half-shell and a beverage of choice including selections from our beer and wine list. With scenic views, wildlife sightings, sit back and learn about Maine’s oyster industry, then sample some of the tastiest treats the Maine coast has to offer. Additional oysters can be purchased aboard for $3/each. Tickets for ages 6 & under include ½ dozen oysters and beverage.

This intensive course is designed to prepare students for the state testing process involved in becoming a licensed Maine Sea Kayak Guide. The state of Maine administers the guide exam, so students must apply to take the exam with the state separately from enrolling in this course.

Although our course is focused on the goal of passing the state guide exam, we also intend for students to develop skills and knowledge that will make them better paddlers and more competent outdoor leaders. The course is designed to be enjoyable and educational for anyone with prior sea kayaking experience who is interested in topics ranging from marine navigation to effective paddling instruction. Please keep in mind that if you successfully take this class and pass the exam that does not necessarily mean you are a competent guide. Many individuals may need additional practice and study before they are ready to professionally lead trips.

Roughly half of the course will take place on the water and the rest will take place in a classroom setting at the offices of the Maine Island Trail Association. Portland Paddle can provide kayaks, PFDs, sprayskirts and paddles for students to use during the course at no extra cost, or students can use their own. Students will need to wear a wetsuit or drysuit while on the water, and wetsuits are available to rent for an extra $20 for the duration of the course.
