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.
