You are not required to sign up for lessons on this page. To register for lessons at a later
date, simply log in with your email and password and you will be able to access
the lesson signup page.
We have a 2-step sign-up system:
STEP 1:
Rank the sessions that you would like to take in each category below, in order of preference (e.g. 1 first choice, 2 second choice, etc). If you are not willing to attend certain sessions then leave the associated field blank. Your registration is not guaranteed until you proceed to Step 2.
STEP 2:
To guarantee your registration: On any of our sign-up days, come to Jericho with payment(cash or credit card only). When your payment is received by an exec, you will be registered in the first session that still has space available, in the order of preference that you indicated. Once this is done and your registration in the session is finalized, the session will be highlighted in green on this schedule.
Note that each lesson has a maximum capacity and many lessons fill up fast. It is in your interest to pay as soon as possible. If all the sessions that you ranked are full when you come to pay, then you will not be registered and you will be informed of your options.

If you cannot attend any of the sessions below you can add yourself to the waitlist, throughout the summer additional lessons may be scheduled if there is sufficient demand.
Wetsuits are strongly recommended as you will be capsizing during the lesson.
