About This Activity

Description

Internet Registration has not begun yet. Check Registration Dates in details.

This is the same as the two-day class, but only for those who can handle a more aggressive learning curve. Friday evening is spent getting fitted with gear and the kayaks and learning wet-exits and paddle strokes on flatwater. Saturday is right into the whitewater river trip to introduce river reading and running and refining skills. Please recognize Saturday will be a longer day on the water than usual. Swimming ability required. Minimum age is 15. All equipment provided. Max participant weight of 235 lbs. due to kayak limitations.


Day 1 is at the Dutch Gap Conservation Area from 6 - 9pm.
Day 2 is on the James River in Richmond from 8:00am - 4:00pm.
