This course is designed as a short program emphasizing safety, enjoyment, and skill development. The skills and knowledge gained can set the stage for a lifetime of exploration, adventures, a healthy lifestyle, appreciation of water and the natural world, lasting memories with family and friends, and a rewarding experience for all.
This L3 RSR course is designed to teach recognition and avoidance of common river hazards, execution of self-rescue techniques, and simple rescues for paddlers in distress. Emphasis is placed both on personal safety and simple, commonly used skills. This course is aimed at whitewater boaters interested in learning fundamental river rescue skills, such as wading, throw ropes, swimming, rigging and craft-based rescue.
All participants should be comfortable paddling class 2 rapids (with one easy class 3 rapid). Be prepared for a long day on the river, and be sure to bring plenty of your own food and water.
Conducted in Partnership with ACA | Canoe – Kayak – SUP – Raft – Rescue
