Kayak Safety Training

All volunteers who are interested in kayaking the Chicago River must complete an in-house kayak safety training session before participating. These free training sessions cover a wide variety of topics, including best paddle practices, environmental and water traffic hazards, safety equipment usage, and more. The sessions are offered a couple times per month and last for roughly 2 hours. If you have been trained in a previous year AND have completed at least one shift in the past, you do not need to complete a training again this year. 

You can now sign up for April/May sessions here.
