9 Days
Class III Rapids
Beginner/Intermediate Whitewater
May 15-23, 2025
Adrift Dinosaur is excited to team up with its sister company Stand Up Paddle Colorado to offer a Paddle Raft & Rowing School / river intensive that covers the disciplines of whitewater rowing and paddling. Whether you are looking at guiding professionally or acquiring the skills, knowledge and comfort to be able to outfit your own private river excursions, this represents the right opportunity for you.
There are boating schools all over the USA offered by outfitters and obviously some are better than others. Other than trying to cover the minimum, we believe a full immersion is needed to get the repetitions, hours, river miles, paddle time and proper guidance so that the correct foundational skills can be nurtured and engrained in the participant. Led by professional guides with swiftwater rescue training, you’ll be on your way to master oar and paddle rafting, boat rigging, navigating Class II-III whitewater, hydrology, raft recovery, rescue theory and emergency procedures. With small teacher-student ratios, for personalized instruction, you’ll have plenty of time to practice and refine your skills.
If you’re new to the river scene, or looking to boost your abilities and river rescue competencies, this “River 101: Boat School” will leave you ready for a fun, more safe summer on the water. Give us a call if you have questions, or sign up today!
