After reading a story in Sunday’s paper about Outdoor adventure stores offering seminars for people interested in learning a new outdoor activity, I decided to check out the offerings. I found a diversity of activities with their Walk-On Adventures which were reasonably priced for families. We’ve never taken a class at L.L. Bean before but the girls have expressed an interest in kayaking (I went once in college but had no idea what I was doing), so we may give one of these classes a whirl this year. The class fee includes the kayak and floatation device along with instruction for two and a half hours and is only $15/per person (kids have to be 8 years and older to participate). The other nice feature about these classes is that you don’t have to pre-register so you can go when you’re mood (and the weather) strike you as the time to go. There are also women-only classes that sounded great for moms with older daughters (most have to be 10) who want to learn how to kayak, fly fish or target shoot together too.
