Adult Program

  • Signed Code of Conduct. [Download]
  • Bring a brown-bag lunch on the first Saturday. On the first day, the class will decide what to do on future days.
  • Bring appropriate clothing for the weather: Bathing suit, change of clothes, foul weather gear (windproof jacket, pants), towel, hat, etc. Remember to layer, as the temperature can be considerably cooler than on land.
  • Wear a non-marking, soft sole shoe to allow for safe movement about the deck. Leather soles are slippery, and dark rubber-sole heels mar the deck.
  • Don't forget your sunscreen, lip balm, and a bottle of water!
