March 29th – April 2nd | $950
This skills development course is designed for paddlers looking to build solid river running and safety abilities in Class 2 whitewater and those wanting to gain the confidence to run Class 3. We’ll choose from a variety of rivers based on the needs of the group and local water levels. Possible rivers include Nantahala, Tuckaseegee, Pigeon, French Broad or Little Tennessee.
What to Expect
The Bryson City area provides us with access to premier whitewater rivers. We will determine which river and which section of the river to run based on current conditions and our group’s goals and desired learning experience. With low-ratio professional coaching, we will have the opportunity to structure sessions that are reflective of the group. We stay together in double occupancy lodging in a house with breakfast and 3 dinners provided. We will eat out one of the nights which is not included.
As the trip gets closer keep an eye out for an email with more specifics and a waiver. Any questions can be sent to info@thepowerofwater.net
