Mike writes: What to pack into three hours that will be fun...large snip.....because I'm sure I have forgotten something! sounds like a great class. So a quality instructor _at_ $12-15 an hour X 4 hours (1/2 hr for prep and clean up). 2 instructors if you have more than 6 in a class.. Any administrative costs, printed materials (hand outs). Wetsuit/ drysuit/ fleece, booties, gloves, hoods and such rentals. We need them when we teach in Portland. Classroom space (bad weather) and a place to change clothes (rent), insurance (costs me $5-8 a day per person) etc. Do you think you can do this for FREE with the *extra* profit margin on a rec boat? Remember you still have to pay for the product, the shipping, the phone book ad, the phone bill, the rent, the heat, the sales staff, the magazine ads, the webmaster, etc. steve (who *very* occasionally gives a 10% discount on a class with the purchase of a boat) Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 39' 47" 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 36' 16" Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
