Boater Safety Classes

With one of our major concerns being lake safety, it is the ongoing wish of our board to continue our collaboration with the Oakland County Sheriff/Lake Orion PD to put on as many training classes as we can. We also hope to continue our cooperation with the Lake Orion Boat Club (LOBC) in taking on one of the most important functions we have, which is to do whatever we can to provide and safe and injury-free summer.

About the Boater Safety Education Course
The main purpose of the boater safety education course is to train knowledgeable, safe and responsible boaters. Topics covered include general boating and water safety, navigational rules, causes and prevention of crashes, operation and fueling techniques, environmental concerns and reporting responsibility.

Any motorized boat operator born after June 30, 1996, is required by law to pass an approved boater safety course and to carry a boater safety certificate. In addition, boater education is also required for all PWC operators born after December 31, 1978. Michigan’s boater education course is taught by a dedicated core of certified volunteer instructors, sheriff’s deputies and Michigan conservation officers.
