A limited number of fee waivers are available to Title 1 schools and camps/summer programs that qualify. We limit one waiver per school/organization and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. To inquire if you qualify for a fee waiver, please email the Kayaking Department at kayaking@brooklynbridgepark.org.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Groups must consist of at least 15 participants, with no more than 30. We provide all equipment. No more than 15 participants are allowed on the water at any given time – groups larger than 15 will be split into (2) sessions, one at 10AM and the other at 1PM. Those waiting to get in a kayak on land will have time to enjoy the park, court sports, and equipment on Pier 2.
- Safety: All participants are required to wear a life vest during the on-water period, no exceptions. Participants must follow the directions of the instructor and staff. Participants who don’t follow instructions will be required to remain on land.
- Ability: Participants must be able to hear and understand instructions and communicate with the program instructor and staff, enter, exit and sit in a kayak without assistance, hold and move a kayak paddle, hold their breath under water and keep their head above water while wearing a life vest.
- Waiver: All participants must have a signed waiver before they can go out in a kayak. The group supervisor must affirm that all the waivers are accurate and complete when delivering them to the on-site coordinator; that he or she has full authority to make decisions on behalf of the youth group; and that the youth group has obtained all public and/or private permissions necessary to participate.
- Other Notes: Once registered, a confirmation email will provide a copy of the waiver for each participant’s parent/guardian to fill, provide a teacher or group lead guide, as well as parent guides in English and Spanish.
