The AQ Outdoors Calgary Clearwater BC 5-Day Whitewater Kayaking Course is a technical skills-focused progression for advanced whitewater kayakers.
The aim of this program is to immerse participants in whitewater kayak instruction for 5 days on the legendary Clearwater River. Whitewater kayaking on the Clearwater River offers some of the most thrilling and scenic river experiences, with a variety of rapids set against stunning landscapes. Throughout the course, our instructors will refine current skills and introduce new ones, under the framework of fun and safety, with the ultimate goal of improving participants' whitewater paddling ability. We strive to help paddlers improve their technical paddling ability, experience new rivers, and impart our knowledge and passion for whitewater to all guests.
After completing this course, participants can expect to have improved on the skills they wanted to work on and, to have been introduced to and practiced many others. Our holistic approach to kayak instruction will include elements of river safety, technical skills, scouting, group dynamics/communications, and much more.
The scope of the program is nearly endless, and our instructors will continually ask what paddlers want to work on and will facilitate that learning.
NOTE: This is an intermediate-advanced level program. Paddlers should be comfortable in Class III, have some experience Class IV.
