Boat-based River Rescue Clinic
Courtesy of Endless River Adventures (ERA), this clinic is offered for Carolina Canoe Club members in good standing.
Price per person: $75
Minimum age: none
The emphasis in this kayak-based river rescue is on boat-based rescue skills – everything from rope throwing to snags and tags to hand-of-gods will be taught over this one-day workshop. Following a format of simple to complex skills, the group will spend the day practicing the river rescue essentials that every boater should know. This training session does not replace Swift Water Rescue training, but instead focuses on boat-based rescue.
The length of the course is ~6 hours, centered in Bryson City.

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
