If you have a busy schedule for the weekend or simply don't want all of the classes that come with a full-day, two-day, or three-day instructional pass, then the half-day instructional pass might be the right one for you. It will allow you to take a single class offered by one of the world-class instructors that will be at this year's festival.  You can choose any class you'd like on any of the three days of the festival.

Each class runs for three hours and sessions are held every morning and afternoon.  Detailed schedules are online for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and you can register online at Potomac Paddlesports.

Also, while you're at the festival, be sure to demo a few boats, catch a free nightly lecture, and if you're coming on Saturday, check out the cardboard kayak building contest for kids!  It'll be a great time to pack a lunch and make a day of it.  We hope to see you there!
