ACA Introduction To Whitewater Kayaking

​

Dates: April 22-26, 2024 - CANCELLED Lots of interest but lots of schedule conflicts. Let us know if you're interested and we'll tell you when the next is scheduled.

​

Location: Wolf River, Camp Gardener Dam, White Lake WI.

​

Learning foundational paddling skills correctly from the start will allow you to improve quickly with less chance of injury and bad habits. Your instructors will take you through a step-by-step learning progression leading to comfort with paddling up to class 2 whitewater on your own. (We may paddle up to easy class 3 in the course, with portaging always an option:) See the ACA Whitewater Kayaking Course Outline​​ for details on course curriculum. As an additional bonus this course offers participants the opportunity to gain a level 2, 3 or 4 ACA River Kayak 'Skills Assessment', great for those working towards a certification.

​

The river portion of this course will take place on the Wolf River, a National Scenic Waterway, with Lodging at Boy Scout Camp Gardner Dam, a heated bunkhouse with kitchens & showers. (Important at this chilly time of year.!)

​

You can either meet us there or take the van with us from Cornucopia. Day 1 will start on flatwater in the afternoon, then on the rivers days 2-4.

​

Tuition: $595 includes all gear, food, lodging, and transportation.
