We are gearing up to take kids out on kayak excursions of the waters they monitor to provide a better perspective on conditions that affect the water quality that they monitor. I read your post about taking students out on a paddle outing and am particularly interested in what you covered in the introductory orientation to skills and safety that was mentioned. Also any other tips on trip planning and prep re: safety gear to have, medical expertise to have along on the trip, etc. Great to see this opportunity made available to youth. I look forward to helping make it happen up here in the “Northland!”
