Students develop skill competency during a night river rescue simulation. Participants should be in good physical condition, and should be good swimmers. We spend a lot of time in the water, so wetsuits are recommended. Cabin accomodation and deluxe food package available. PaddleFoot's Moving Water level 1 provides an introduction to canoeing in rapids for those with little or no experience in whitewater.
Emphasis is on tandem canoeing skills, understanding whitewater principles and safety.
Moving Water level 2 represents the highest canoeing skill level with the Moving Water discipline and provides participants the opportunity to improve whitewater skills under more challenging class II-III rapids. Canoeists taking this course should have considerable paddling experience beyond the Moving Water level 1 course. Participants in both courses will spend most of the time on the water, though there are some short classroom elements. All canoeing equipment is provided, however, we reccommend all whitewater paddlers have their own helmet. Cabin accomodation and deluxe food package available.
