The course is open to the public and is free of charge. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult. Students must be 10 years of age to receive permanent certification. There will be a one-hour lunch break on Saturday and lunch IS NOT provided.  Students should bring their own lunch or plan accordingly.
