This course will consist of three days. The first day will focus on specific training in kayak strokes maneuvers, rescues, safety and on-water management. Forward stroke techniques to paddle farther and faster with less effort, edging and turning techniques for efficiency, and the latest rescue methods for yourself and others will be covered.

The next two days of ACA Trip Leader Training and Assessment will improve your ability to participate in and safely lead, trips in coastal areas including basic navigation, the use of the VHS radio, tidal currents and trip planning among other things.

Students who participate in all three days and who meet all ACA criteria, will be awarded the ACA L2 Trip Leader certificate. Enrollment is also open for people who are focused primarily on skills development. While we encourage participation in all three days to maximize your investment, you may enroll in the two segments independently.
