Basic Boating Safety Course

Presenters: Bob Plumb and Curt Tereschak, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and Meg Welker, PPL Get an early jump on the boating season by taking a safety boating course. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s eight-hour boating safety class gives boaters practical information so they can make more informed decisions on the water. Topics include boat terminology, legal requirements, water activities, and safety and rescue. Students who pass the exam at the end of the daylong course can apply for their boating safety education certificate from the commission. This certificate will enable people to operate personal watercrafts. Please bring your own lunch and snacks for the day. A $10 certificate fee is payable to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission after class. Must be 12 or older. Registration is required. To register, contact PPL at 570-253-7001 or pplpreserves@pplweb.com.
