For our members who come out to Camp during the summer, you might wonder why there is a stack of kayaks at Cherokee Beach and why we are not able to use them. Of course we have plenty of (New) kayaks and boats this summer and well, technically, you are able to use L.L. Bean’s, but you would need to sign-up for a special class offered through L.L. Bean in Marlton.
Each summer for the past couple of years, the L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery School has been offering affordable beginner kayaking classes open to the entire community. I had the pleasure of partaking in one of these classes last summer and while I have my own kayak, the instruction and chance to meet some new people was an amazing opportunity.
Even better are their Friday evening lake tours, which leave just as the sun sets and you arrive back at Cherokee Beach under a full moon….and a head-lamp!
If you are interested in taking one of these classes, please contact the L.L. Bean in Martlon at 1-888-552-9883 or take a look at the following web page: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/1000001695?reldesc=Kayaking%20Discovery%20Course
Of course you can always sign-up for Summer Camp or our Year-Round Membership program, where members can boat on the weekends and campers boat all week long!
