This summer we have almost doubled our program offerings! We have added new staff and are expanding our site (but not the parking unfortunately).

Junior Instructors are 16 years old and are in one of the afternoon classes or have been in the Kayaking or SUP program for at least one summer. They will be on hand both during the week and occasionally on Saturday.  Most Junior Instructors are also members of MSST.

We have some awesome Junior Instructors waiting in the wings.  This list will be updated soon.

If you are 14 – 15 years old and in one of the afternoon classes or have been in the Kayaking or SUP program for at least one summer you may volunteer in the mornings. These hours can be verified for any school or Scout community service.
