Friday evening: Fitted in your boat, rolling practice & introduction dinner.
Saturday morning: 8:00 am - meet and head to the river. This is the day to learn the basics that you will use for the rest of your paddling career! We will have a boat fit for those arriving Saturday morning at TG Canoes & Kayaks.
PLEASE NOTE: if you are arriving from Houston Saturday morning you can meet at TG's.
TG's Canoe & Kayak 402 Pecan Park Drive San Marcos, TX 78666 or at the Center - we leave the Center at 8:00am
Saturday early afternoon - lunch - bring money as we enjoy lunch from a local establishment.
(if you need to be back to Houston early, this is the time to leave)
Saturday afternoon - head down the river and practice skills learned in the AM.
Saturday evening - dinner for those who stay over.
Sunday AM - Rio Vista or River Trip! If you are just arriving, get fitted quick. We leave the Center at 8:30 prompt so we can get on the river and beat the crowds! This is the day you put your skills learned the day before to use.
Sunday afternoon - usually back at the Center around 3:00 and then we head back to Houston - tired, happy and ready to come back and do it again!!
San Marcos is about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Houston. It is possible to get up very early, drive in for the lessons and then drive home. It is more fun to plan on staying for the entire weekend or come in on Friday night, stay over (details below) have dinner and then possibly decide on Saturday afternoon that you had so much fun you want to go on Sunday, too. Happens all the time!
RSVP - please RSVP on the calendar for Saturday &/or Sunday so we have a head count
