SUMMARY:L4 Instructor Certification Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Lake\, NC and various local whitewater rivers to be dete
 rmined based on water levels and weather.\n\nThe Level 4 whitewater kayak 
 instructor course will cover beginner and intermediate teaching progressio
 ns\, strokes\, river maneuvers\, rolling\, class organization and risk man
 agement. We start out emphasizing primarily flatwater skills and developme
 nt of teaching techniques\, and then move on to focus on river skills and 
 risk management. ACA certification is recognized as the baseline for paddl
 ing instructors\, and provides instructors with a number of benefits\, inc
 luding insurance and several pro-deals.\n\nInstructor candidates should be
  class III or better kayakers\, who are interested in learning how to padd
 le and teach more effectively. Candidates will be evaluated based on their
  class III boating skills\, their ability to teach effectively\, and their
  ability to model paddling skills on flatwater and up to class III whitewa
 ter. To receive certification\, participants will need to attend all five 
 days\, and will need to successfully complete a number of teaching and per
 formance requirements. Participation in the class does not guarantee certi
 fication. Participants who do not receive certification will be given a wr
 itten list of areas to work on\, and will have up to four years to complet
 e the list. Part of the class will focus on polishing and developing the c
 andidate’s skills\, and many paddlers find that both their teaching and 
 their paddling skills improve after taking the course.\n\nIf your Instruct
 or certification has expired\, call me to discuss your options.\n\nDavid E
