Due to a high rate of “No-Shows” in recent times – we now require a $20 deposit to hold your spot for any kayaking sessions. This deposit will be refunded to you after you have enjoyed the paddle. For those that do not show up (keeping someone else from enjoying the opportunity to enjoy that time on the water), your $20 will be considered a donation to The Greenhouse Project.
