Do you have a solid roll, but are not confident enough to try a boof? In this course, we will focus on the intricacies of River Running. The friendly nature of the Salmon, big, deep, pool drop rapids, allows you a safe place to hone your skills. The focus will be on the timing and placement of your strokes, boofing, eddy hopping, ferrying, scouting, and setting safety. We have access to 45 miles of various Class I-IV whitewater framed in the stunning scenery that provides the perfect mix of education and exploration!
Accommodations: Surrounded by the Salmon-Challis National Forest on 3 sides, our 23-acre hidden paradise sits directly on the banks of the Salmon River. All of our students will stay in canvas wall tents with a Queen size bed or 2 twin cots. The recently remodeled Bath and Shower House is nearby. All meals will be prepared by a professional chef and we source as much local and organic food as possible. We do have a Trading Post where students can purchase needed items in case they lose or forget something.
*Please be sure to let us know if you have any special dietary restrictions.
Not Included: Flight, travel insurance
