I took the Sea Kayaking 101 class. Super rad. The class size is small, so you get a lot of one on one time if you aren't getting something down or want to be able to do something better. They were great at helping us with our strokes so that we could maneuver the boats better, showed us how to do entry and exits using a variety of methods, and showed us some rescue techniques. There was a lunchtime game about this year's coast guard safety facts. They had great equipment and even brought some pullovers for us since it was a little cold.
To summarize, I balked at spending $95 on a kayaking class, but I am so glad that I did. I will definitely be back to take more classes and I will suggest them to my friends and family.
