Proper Creek Boating technique can make the difference between flopping down the river and styling your lines. This week-long trip will include 2 days of formal instruction on proper scouting, line selection and visualization. We'll then go over the stroke placement, upper body positioning, torso rotation, and hip action that will make your chosen line a reality. Finally, we'll cover the learning techniques for quickest assimilation of all of these skills into your creek boating arsenal. We'll then hit the rivers each day where you will get detailed feedback and coaching on your technique, working you through the skills one by one, mastering each component of proper technique in a natural progression. We will also touch on creek boating safety and rescue, as well as discuss creek boat design and proper gear selection for maximum safety, comfort, and durability on the creeks.

When we're not on the river, we'll spend our time camping out and exploring all of the incredible scenery that this area has to offer. With jagged peaks towering over lush old growth forest, every campsite will be one to remember. Almost everywhere we go there will be a trail to hike or a cool new place to explore. About half of our dinners we will eat in towns after paddling, and the rest of the meals we'll cook at the campsite. All food will be included in the trip price.
