Whitewater Instructions

Learn the basic paddle strokes, maneuvers in rapids & the anatomy of rivers. The second day, run & play on a class I-II river. The third day, learn & practice safety & more advanced play techniques on class I-II rapids. The rivers paddled will depend on water levels. All kayaking gear is
