Sea Kayaking 115, Five-Day Kayak Training Camp


Description

Five-Day Kayak Training Camp

Our Five-Day Training Camp is the fastest way for a sea kayaker to advance from beginner/intermediate to a highly skilled paddler with trip leadership and navigation experience. Intermediate/advanced students get amazing skill refinement and discover techniques and concepts not taught anywhere else. After this course, you will be more skilled than most people with years of paddling experience. It's excellent training for guides too. Our class size is small so each student can get all he or she is ready for.

The 5-Day Kayak Training Camp is a combination of our Paddling Strokes & Rescue Techniques course and our Open Water Training Camp plus a fifth day in the middle of the week for paddle stroke review, video playback and coaching of each student, and extra time to work on perfecting your roll or starting your off-side roll. Rather than repeating the information here, please follow the links below to read what is covered in the SK113 parts of this course.
