This 4 day shortened instructor challenge course with two days of coaching followed by 1 day of skills evaluation and 1 day of instruction evaluation.
Participants will have the opportunity to become certified in ORCKA Moving Water Canoeing level 1, 2 or 3 skills depending on their abilities, as well as earning Moving Water Canoeing Instructor 1 or 2 level certification.

- Certification Fees
- Solo and Tandem Canoe Rental
Not Included in the course cost
- Camping at Paddler Co-op

- Skills evaluation prior to the course
Due to the nature of this abbreviated instructor course, it is recommended that anyone interested in participating book a one day skill assessment prior to participation, or have advanced paddling skills (confidence making a variety of moves in class 2 & 3 whitewater) prior to registering.
These will be full days with lots of hands-on content throughout. Plan to pack river-ready snacks and to brush up on skills beforehand! Have you already taken an instructor course and are ready to challenge the test? Skip out on the coaching days and head straight into evaluation – note that we cannot guarantee a pass.
