 yesGet an early jump on the boating season by taking a safe boating course. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commissions 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 watercraft. Please bring your own lunch and snacks for the day. A $10 certificate fee is payable to the Fish & Boat Commission after class. Must be 12 or older. Registration is required. To register, contact PPL at 570-253-7001 or pplpreserves@pplweb.com. Additional information about upcoming boating classes can be found on the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commissions website at www.fish.state.pa.us.
