Logistics:
Bring Your Own Gear: We encourage students to bring their own lifejackets, helmets, and splash wear for a more personalized experience, but CRI is happy to provide any gear you may need.
Rafts & Transportation Provided: CRI will provide rafts and transportation to and from the river and meeting locations, so all you have to do is show up and get ready for adventure
What Makes This Class Unique?
Focus on Both Paddle & Gear Rafts: Unlike many safety clinics that focus on just one type of raft, this class covers the essential flip recovery techniques for both paddle rafts and gear-loaded rafts, so you’ll be prepared no matter what you’re boating in.
Hands-On, Real-World Learning: This clinic isn’t just about theory—it’s all about getting in the water and practicing real-world scenarios. You’ll walk away with practical skills you can immediately apply, whether you're on a casual float or navigating more technical whitewater.
Small, Focused Groups: With personalized attention, you’ll have more time to practice and get feedback on your technique, ensuring that you leave with a solid foundation in river safety.
Essential Safety Skills for Every Boater: Whether you're new to boating or a seasoned adventurer, this class gives you the core safety techniques every boater should know to confidently manage flip situations and stay safe on the river.
