Introduction to Whitewater Kayaking

Start at the very beginning of white water paddling in a safe and fun environment. This five-day program will teach the basics of white water paddling. Held on the upper section of the Farmington River - Tariffville, students will learn wet exits with spray skirts, how to scout and read a river, swift water safety basics, whitewater strokes and paddle manipulation, and, ultimately, the skills necessary to run Class III rapids. We will be training on Class I & II rapids.

The class will be taught by a veteran whitewater paddler and ACA-certified instructor from Collinsville Canoe & Kayak.
