Adult Level 1: Basics of Kayaking This introductory-level class is designed to teach beginners the fundamentals of whitewater kayaking and river safety. We will spend 4 evenings over two weeks in this course teaching the necessary skills and focusing on boosting your confidence on the water. Day 1: The class will start in the pool behind 4CRS and work on boat outfitting, wet exits, and getting a feel for the boat edges. We will progress to Lake Nighthorse to work on basic paddle strokes. Day 2: We will be on flatwater at Lake Nighthorse to continue paddle progression and start working on paddling concepts, while still getting a feel for our boat edges. Day 3: We will discuss river anatomy and then progress to the Animas River at Oxbow. Day 4: We will be back at the Animas River working on basic river maneuvers, and continued work on paddle progression.
