WHAT YOUR TRIP WILL LOOK LIKE

This all-inclusive course is designed to kick start a lifetime of kayaking. After a delicious breakfast at base camp each morning, our expert guides will build each day of instruction around your developing kayaking skills. With a focus on the fundamentals of kayaking (properly fitting your boat, catching eddies, paddling strokes, river safety, wet exiting, rolling techniques, how to “read” the river, etc.) each day’s morning and afternoon river sessions will improve your technique and confidence. Video analysis throughout the training deepen your learning and understanding. Our stretch of the Salmon River has all the water levels to perfectly meet your progression. Return to camp each evening for a hot shower and dinner at the Eddy, our on-site restaurant. End your day as you like –  relaxing with a book, hiking a trail out of camp, or play a round of disc golf. With the support and instruction from our top notch guides, you will depart a river runner for life!
