Monday - Will be on the flat calm water. We will start out with wet exits (getting out after you flip over). Then we will move onto basic strokes like the forward and reverse stroke, as well as the rudder stroke. This will build the foundation on how to control and move the boat or actually go somewhere.
Tuesday - We will learn how to spin the boat (sweep strokes) while working on balance. Near the end of day two we will have a chance to run a section or two of the course.
Wednesday - “GAME DAY.”
Thursday - Will include a river talk *hazards and features) as well as how to enter and exit eddys.
Friday - Will be dedicated to running the runner while putting everything we’ve learned together
