White Water Development Week

5 Days
£450pp

Do you love discovering new white water rivers and have experience paddling grade 2/3 with your peers but don’t quite feel ready to take the next step?
 

Maybe it’s due to a gap in rescue skills, river reading knowledge, or just a lack of confidence.

​

Spend a week with us exploring a variety of river styles, from grade 2/3 and even the occasional grade 4 rapid.

With expert coaching, practical leadership tips, river reading techniques, and essential white water safety skills, you’ll leave us with the confidence, independence, and ability to support both yourself and your peer group in exploring and playing on new rivers.

​

This course is based in the North of England, where the rivers are as exciting as they are varied. We’ll chase the rain to find the best conditions for the group, choosing venues together based on water levels, goals, and your development needs.

Venue choices could be rivers such as the Leven, Kent, Upper Tees, Tees Racecourse, Lune, Duddon, Wear, Lowther, Rawthey, and the list goes on.
