Description

Five-Day Kayak Training Camp

Our Five-Day Kayak Training Camp is the fastest way for a sea kayaker to advance from being a beginner/intermediate to a highly skilled paddler with trip leadership and navigation experience. After just this one course, you will be more skilled than most people with years of paddling experience. Advanced students appreciate the way this course refines their skills, and they discover techniques not taught anywhere else. It's an 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 rolling or perfecting an off-side roll. Rather than repeating the information here, please follow the above links to read what is covered in the SK111 and SK113 parts of this course.

At the end of day two, students are invited to a salmon BBQ dinner with George & Barb Gronseth at the K.A. shop/center.
