Class planned paddling trip for the Introduction to Recreational Kayaking Class. Location and details to be decided by the students.

The most important stroke you will ever learn as a kayaker is the forward stroke. Many kayakers think they are doing it correctly, but they are not. What is missing? -Torso rotation. The LVKCC is offering a free forward stroke clinic at 3 Mile Run Boat Access, Lake Nockamixon on June 17th from 5 PM to 7 PM. ACA certified instructors Dan Rempp and Mike Miller, will be there work with you.

Brady’s Lake Paddle June 19th Let’s take a 5 mile leisurely paddle on Brady’s Lake. Ready to start at 10:30 AM. Will paddle to the far end of the lake where a beaver dam will probably halt our forward progress. May see several beaver dens along the way. This lake is very remote with at least a 3 mile dirt road back to the launch where there is plenty of paved parking (no restrooms). From Blakeslee (Rt 115 & Rt 940) head east on Rt 940 for 4.9 miles. Brady’s Lake Road is on your left. Bring water and a snack. Must be a member of the LVKCC. PFD’s must be worn while on the water. Thunderstorms or high winds will cancel. Please make sure you have a current launch sticker on your boat (DCNR or Fish & Boat Commission). Contact Gary Leander gleander@ptd.net for more information.

Learn how to pack your kayak for a wilderness camping trip and then spend a weekend at a remote campsite. Intro afternoon on May 17. Camping trip June 20-22.

Assisted rescues are important in our sport. Being able to assist a fellow paddler back into their boat may make the difference between a good day and a very bad day. This free clinic is for recreational, touring and sea kayakers. If you have a recreational kayak, you will need to have float bags in the bow and the stern if you do not have bulkheads. Touring and sea kayaks usually have bulkheads. Check to see that they are in good condition. Make sure all hatches are water tight. You will be spending time in the water. A wet suit is recommended. Neoprene booties are also recommended. Please, no cotton clothing! Make sure your boat has an up to date launch permit. This clinic will be run by ACA certified instructors Dan Rempp and Mike Miller. Enrollment is limited to 5 paddlers.

Let’s take a 5 mile leisurely paddle on the Bear Creek leg of the reservoir. Will meet at the Francis Walter kayak launch for a 10:30 AM start. The formal kayak launch is on the west side of the dam. Will paddle all the way to where Bear Creek enters the reservoir. There are lots of trees still standing in the water at this end. Bring water and a snack. Must be a member of the LVKCC. PFD’s must be worn while on the water. Thunderstorms or high winds will cancel. Boat launch stickers are not required. Contact Gary Leander gleander@ptd.net for more information. Please register for this event on the club website.

Come enjoy a weekend of camping and paddling in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey! This is a repeat of the trip we did last year. The Pine Barrens are like nothing in our area: gentle but twisty narrow rivers through sandy forests. You can bring a rec kayak, white water kayak or canoe for this trip. The rivers flow slowly, but you need to be comfortable turning your boat—these rivers are nothing but turns! Our plan is to paddle the Wading and Batsto Rivers, although we may have to switch to other rivers in the area depending upon water levels at that time. This is a club trip - you must be an LVKCC member to register and attend. We are camping at the Wharton State Forest campground on Atsion Lake, 31 Batsto Rd, Hammonton NJ. Cost for two nights is $55, or $45 for NJ residents. Go to the park web site at https://www.njportal.com/DEP/NJOutdoors/Park/Details?locationId=19 to reserve a site. Enter the dates and site type, then scroll within the Map View to Atsion Family Campground. Click an available site, then click the Review Selection button. There are other area camping options if this camp doesn’t work for you. Cost: in addition to your camping reservation, expect a charge of around $40 for shuttling for one of the days, with Pinelands Adventures outfitter. We’ll provide more details, and the link for the online outfitter waiver, closer to the event. We may also choose to go out for dinner Saturday evening as a group. Friday evening: sunset paddle on Atsion Lake Saturday: paddling on Wading River Sunday: group breakfast in camp; paddling on Batsto River Get your campsite early, and sign up soon on the club website so we know how many people will be going. Contact Mark Bereit (campsite #9) with any questions.
