Paddler Co-Op
is it the best?  ... at the beginner stage they all teach the same stuff.
is it the cheapest ... most likely

Or tell her about Palmersfest on the May long weekend ... plenty of clinics

Hi Sandra

There's also the in town stuff such as Trailhead used to provide. And "MKC in the City" - if they still have it - used to be at the pumphouse. Obviously not as good as those up the line, but more easily accessed.
