Five days allows complete immersion into the sport of whitewater kayaking. We guide you through a gradual progression with plenty of time to practice and master skills before moving on to new challenges every day. The personal growth from such an in-depth commitment to this sport lasts a lifetime. Graduates of this class develop the skills and judgment needed to practice on their own and become independent kayakers. Most will suffer a total addiction to kayaking!
