Women’s Dryway River Run 1 Day Clinic (20% off)

Come join us for a weekend of women on whitewater July 12-13. Our amazing women instructors will not only teach the skills of whitewater, but they will create a positive atmosphere to foster learning and connections! We are excited to work with the women paddlers of the Deerfield to organize a whole weekend of activities including a community paddle on Saturday, workshops, meals, and activities.

Goal of the clinic:

• To help class III paddlers move to the next level or kayaking by running the Deerfield River Dryway with a Zoar Outdoor instructor.

Who should take the clinic:

• Kayakers or canoeists who are comfortable and confident in class III, have a class III+ roll and are interested in beginning to paddle class IV. Our minimum age for these clinics is 16.

What will be covered:

• We start with a warm-up and skill check on flatwater and then hop on the Dryway, taking it one rapid at a time and scouting from boat or shore as we go. Our advanced river runs on the Dryway teach advanced intermediate kayakers how to paddle confidently in this class III-IV playground.

• Participants in this course should be able to perform eddy turns, peel outs, ferries and self rescues on class III+ and should have solid and consistent class III rolls.

• Our instructor-to-student ratio is 1:3 and our approach is gradual. We work on developing effective river-running strategies, surfing, running slots and other advanced moves. We also offer the option to walk around any rapid.
