About the event
Ever wondered how Instructors are trained? Participate in a formal Skills Workshop and Assessment during an Instructor Certification Exam and find out!
Please join Jeff Atkins, American Canoe Association Coastal L3 Instructor Trainer, L5 Instructor, as well as Randi Kruger (L4 Instructor) and Brian Stevens (L5 Instructor), for a formal Coastal Kayak Level 2 and 3 Skills Workshop as well as L3 ICE.
The Skills portion will be arranged so that Level 2 Skills will be covered on Day 1, and Level 3 Skills will be covered on Days 2 and 3. Brian and Randi will take the lead on training the students who attend for skills, with the Candidates from the ICE also participating in training students. Students who come for skills will therefore receive an enormous amount of hands-on training from a variety of instructors.
Any Skills student that is an ACA member will receive a Skills Assessment at Level 2 or 3, as appropriate. The Skills Assessment will be logged with the ACA.
Running at the same time on Days 2 and 3 will be a Coastal Level 3 Exam for Instructors (L3 ICE). Candidates must have already completed an Instructor Development Workshop with an IT, and be able to show evidence of ACA membership, as well as a Coastal Level 3 Skills Assessment.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings will have academics in the Host House. Topics such as navigation, and ACA requirements will be covered. Skills students are encouraged to participate.
The event will end around 6 pm on the third day. Housing will include that night through Monday morning.
A shared bed room in the Host House is $50 per night, per person.
Students and candidates will be billed via PayPal, pay with debit/credit card. Skills Students, 3 days $225. ICE- Candidates, $250 for Saturday and Sunday. Add Friday as a practice day: Single day sessions are $125. Lodging will be billed separately
Some loaner boats and equipment are available, but must be arranged prior to event.
