The Essentials of River Kayaking course is designed to teach beginner paddlers to safely and enjoyably kayak on gentle rivers.

Fundamentally, we expect that participants will have the paddling skills, technical knowledge, rescue ability, teaching ability, group management, and interpersonal skills commensurate with this level of certification prior to presenting themselves for evaluation as Instructor Candidates,

Please note that there will be a ZOOM session (preceding the on-water workshop) . Please contact Mike at mike@ckapco.com or by calling (703)850-1257 for more information.
