https://wildtraining.org/product/women-only-rowing-clinic/

Are you looking to develop your skills on the oars surrounded by women who want to do the same thing? Our Women on the Water 3-day Rowing Clinic is just what you need! Whether you are a brand new rafter looking for the basics or an experienced boater looking to advance your abilities, we are here for you. This course is designed for beginner and intermediate rowers to learn and solidify the techniques that will help you navigate a day trip on your class II backyard run or a 21-day expedition down the Grand Canyon. With a maximum ratio of 3 students to 1 instructor, you will get plenty of practice at the oars. Join us for 3 days of building camaraderie with fellow women paddlers, learning in a supportive and empowering space, and gaining confidence while feeling safe and comfortable with our female ACA-certified instructors in wild and wonderful West Virginia.

Course Learning Objectives:

While navigating rapids in an oar rig raft, the participant will:

Gain valuable whitewater experience in an environment that fosters connection, encouragement, and growth with like-minded women

Learn to identify common whitewater features and hazards

Become familiar with whitewater rafting equipment and the advantages/disadvantages of different styles of equipment

Maneuver a raft using safe and effective techniques taught by female instructors

Practice basic safety and rescue skills



Course includes:

An ACA-certified instructor (see what it takes to become one here – https://americancanoe.org/education/take-a-paddling-class/become-an-instructor/)

Transportation to and from river locations

All rafting equipment (raft, oars, frames, etc…)

Med kit

Lunch (typically a deli-style spread with sandwiches and sides)

Complementary camping

Wet-suit rentals available

Join me this spring for an International Rafting Federation Guide & TL Worskhop🤘🏽

For those with previous commercial guiding experience looking to take your river skills to the next level, this course delivers assessments in technical boating skill, rope work & rescue, throw bags, raft flip & recovery, and whitewater swimming. Trip Leaders, test your decision making skills against international standards with on-water real world scenario based learning and assessment.
