Ground School
We really don't want to scare anyone away with the term "school," and we promise not to give you a test at the end. These FREE lessons are an introduction to the club's structure, layout, safety rules, instruction program, and fun social events. While attending a Ground School is required for members prior to their first lesson, Ground Schools are open to non-members as well - so be sure to bring a friend!
After a brief video presentation, your friendly and knowledgeable instructor will guide you on a tour of the facilities and lakefront, highlight certain aspects of our programs, and answer any questions you may have. The club offers Ground School lessons about three or four times per week during the peak season. The class meets in the Hoofer Chart Room--just walk up the tunnel from the Memorial Union Boathouse and through the shop (follow the yellow signs or just ask someone along the way).
