This course is taught to the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) national standards that represent a bare minimum education for safe boating practice. This class is usually offered during an 8-hour, one-day session. Though not an on-the-water course, our instructors will provide practical examples and hands-on training on several key boating requirement areas. Class materials are set for an 8th grade reading level or about 12 years of age. Signups by children 13 and under require a parent or responsible adult to on-line register to take the course as well before registering the child. Children 13 and under who come unattended may not register.
Each student must bring to the class a positive ID that identifies who you are. Students without a positive ID will not be admitted to the class.
Once you pass this formal class, you will receive both a certificate of completion and a card for you wallet. This recognition card is honored just about every state in the country. You only have to take the class once in your life (unless a judge reviewing a boating violation decides otherwise).
In addition, you will receive two free nights camping at a New Mexico State Park.
This pass is good for non-reservation sites only.
