COURSES
We have one and two day weekend courses on a local river where you can learn good habits and safe paddling. These are formal structured instruction courses run by qualified instructors. Two stages, introduction to moving water, with the next stage having more advanced techniques and oriented toward paddling with others.
The two day course involves a day's instruction,a camp overnight, and a day on a river trip with instruction. This covers an assessment of where you're at,a refresher on rescues, paddling techniques and general river sense. The following day puts this into practice and places it in context with group paddling and mutual support.
