These courses are perfect for anyone ready to dip their toes into the world of packrafting on rivers, and come out the other side feeling confident, capable, and excited to keep paddling! Over two days, you'll build the skills that make for safer, smarter, and more enjoyable time on the water. Day one begins on flat water, where you’ll learn essential paddling strokes and get hands-on with rescue techniques in a supportive, low-pressure environment. On day two, we take those skills onto moving water, practicing real-world scenarios that bring everything together. Throughout the course, you’ll receive personalized feedback to help you progress at your own pace. We teach within a challenge-by-choice environment, meaning you’re always in control of how far you push yourself. Questions are not just welcomed, they’re encouraged. The more curious you are, the more you’ll gain! By the end of the course, you won’t just be a stronger paddler -- you’ll be a more reliable river partner. You’ll understand how to move efficiently, communicate clearly, and contribute to a safe, supportive group dynamic on the water.
