This swiftwater rescue course is a great fit for anyone looking to up their rescue game! Students will have the opportunity to leave with an ACA certification upon successful execution of all skills, which makes it a great fit for casual paddlers, whitewater enthusiasts, guides, and agency personnel alike. Because you’ll be on the river for both days, come prepared with plenty of warm layers, water, and snacks to stay comfortable and energized. The course is led by Sam Stone, a class V kayaker with years of experience teaching and coaching on advanced whitewater. You’ll benefit from expert instruction and individualized feedback designed to help you progress at your own pace. Like all of our courses, this course is taught in a challenge-by-choice environment, so you’re always in control of how far you push yourself. Location is water level-dependent, and Sam will choose and communicate the best venue based on current conditions to ensure a safe and effective learning environment. Note: these courses are open to both whitewater packrafters and kayakers. If kayaking, you must have your roll down ~80% of the time or be proficient in wet exists. Rafts and canoes permitted on case-by-case basis.
