We at the UW Kayak Club have set up a kayak rescue clinic, as well as an
intermediate/advanced skills clinic with Wet Planet in October. We have
a couple of spots left so I'd like to open this up to folks in the
community. We are getting a college discount, and it would be awesome if
you would be willing to safety boat for one of our beginner classes in
return Here's info on how to sign up:
RESCUE CLINIC We
will practice small-group whitewater rescue, highly recommended for
everyone. Anyone who has seen a river at least once or twice is
qualified to attend. Try to beg, borrow, or steal (or even rent!) a dry
suit if you don't have your own, it will make the whole thing a LOT more
comfortable.
Date: Sunday, Oct 23, 2011 Time: 9-5pm Location: Wet Planet in Husum, WA Cost: $76.50 (please do not select the "scholarship" tab!)

SKILLS CLINIC It's
called a "creeking clinic" on the signup page, but you won't have to
run any waterfalls unless you really want to. This clinic is really
highly recommended for anyone who is looking to improve their paddling! I
can personally vouch for the excellence of the Wet Planet instructors,
and guarantee it will make a huge difference for your boating. This is
mainly geared toward class III paddlers (if you have a reasonably
reliable roll, and have comfortably run rivers like the Middle Middle,
Main Sky, or Wenatchee). We will be very flexible though in customizing
this to the needs of our paddlers, so if you're not sure if you qualify,
ask me. They will also let you demo boats for free during the clinic.
Date: Saturday, Oct 22, 2011 Time: 9-5pm Location: Wet Planet Cost: $85.50 (do not select scholarship option)

We
will have free camping available at Wet Planet, but if you'd rather
stay someplace with a roof, there are lots of options in White Salmon or
Hood River. Logistical details type emails will come from me as the
event draws near.
