WRT – Whitewater Rescue Technician Level 4

Our Whitewater Rescue Technician class is designed for the everyday river rafter, kayaker, or river runner no matter what mode of river transportation you choose. Our class is geared toward low-tech answers to the most commonly seen river incidents. We focus on using the tools most commonly brought with you on the river trip.

This is a 2.5-day river class. Friday night is 3 to 4 hours on lecture/video followed by a Saturday and Sunday full of hands-on training with the afternoons spent in the river running scenarios. Many subjects such as anchors, knots, swimming rapids, strainer swim, and mechanical advantage rope systems, just to name a few will be taught in this class. This is an American Canoe Association class and you will receive credit from the ACA upon completion.
