There is no substitute for practice. Why waste precious time in Canada? Set them up in the back yard with a baitcaster and a hookless lure. Eventually, draw targets (bullseye, rock, weed, shoreline, etc...) on grass with spray paint. If they are going to Canada, they need to make precision casts to structure. Keep practicing for weeks until they are good. Teach hookset and figure eight (standing on a patio chair/table). Once in Canada, start out with floating lures.

I taught my then 14 year old daughter how to throw a 4601 C3. Like others said, you gotta show them how to thumb the spool and thumb it down hard when the bait hits the water. 14 year old attitude girls take patience and a bit of an attitude yourself. Haley is now a petite 20 year old who throws all baits- light or heavier- with that set up. Her mom won't change through- still using that spinning reel for everything.
