Youth Watercraft Safety Course

The Stearns County Sheriff’s Department with the support of the Stearns County COLA has scheduled Boat and Watercraft Safety Education for youth ages 12-17.  The course will include 4 hours of classroom training, a written test, and a short driving course on the water. The Minnesota DNR will grade the written tests and mail Watercraft Permits to those who have passed.

We will be providing classroom materials (pens, pencils, & scratch paper for notes) boats, and lunch for the students.  The students need to bring a type I, II, or lll life jacket for the operating portion and sunscreen if they choose.
