Overview
On this five-day enhanced course, you’ll work with our highly qualified team to move your leadership skills to the standard set by British Canoeing. You’ll paddle white water in spectacular Eryri (Snowdonia) whilst you hone the skills you need to lead a group of paddlers in appropriate locations, up to moderate white water conditions. We’ll show you how to judge the conditions, and the standard of the group, then make appropriate decisions along with the need to modify plans as required. You’ll also cover the WWSR course.
The Objectives
You’ll be a more confident leader with enhanced personal paddling, rescue, safety, leadership and group skills. You’ll be one step closer to being a White Water Kayak Leader and be equipped with suitable techniques and boat control in real situations.
