The objective of this training camp is to provide an opportunity to up skill all levels of paddler. It is expected that some will be beginner/novice paddlers, but more advanced will be catered for also.

The camp will cover kayaking fundamentals such as forward paddling, other useful strokes, railing, ferry gliding, catching eddies as well as canoe slalom fundamentals. It is not essential to be able to roll. 

More advanced paddlers can also benefit greatly from the coached time on the river and have done in previous years. Best efforts will be made to group paddlers by ability and suitable learning objectives/challenges set for each group. Advanced paddlers are expected to help support with rescue with a beginner group when not in their own session. This will be rostered.
