               Canoe Artistry: Expressive Paddling

Chris Raab will be having a solo canoe class called Canoe Artistry: Expressive Paddling.

 It will be held at Lake Sebago on Sunday, June 4 from 9:30 am -- 4:00 pm  Since we love

 to play on the water, we will learn  advanced  canoe maneuvers and techniques using a 

series of body and blade movements that will allow you to make a solo canoe dance on 

water. This class focuses on  technique, creativity, style, and grace to unlocking your hidden 

potential on quiet  waters.  This is a great way to advance 

your skills and express yourself through the art of canoeing.  

   Prerequisite: Participants must be solo canoeists with solid level 2 strokes.

   Cost:  $125 which includes instruction, camp daily fees and lunch
