ORCKA Basic Canoe Instructor Course
Are you interested in being an ORCKA Basic Canoe Instructor?
If so, please come and join us for 2 weekends in June.
June 15, 16 and 17 and 22, 23, and 24.
You must arrive on Thursday to set up your camp as class starts at 6:30 am each day and will run till 8 or 9 pm each day. The first Thursday will require meeting with the participants after 6pm to complete paperwork.
The skill level required is a Basic Canoe level 4, although this is not mandatory as we can test your paddling skills on the first day of course. The age requirement is 18.
The weekends will cover the CSP Level 1 and 2 and the Basic Canoe Instructor requirements.
Extra cards and crests for the CSP it will cost you $15.00 for each.
Barry Irish and myself (Mike McMahon) will run the course if enough persons are interested and a suitable central host site is located. If you have a suitable site in the area let me know ASAP.
To keep the cost down the participants are to have their own canoe and equipment and be willing to camp and supply their own food.
Here is the list of the cost for each participant for the Basic Instructor Course:
4 participants $675.00,
5 participants $560.00,
6 participants $500.00,
7 participants $445.00,
8 participants $390.00,
9 participants $365.00 and
10 participants $340.00.
This doesn't include camp site fees which I will try to get a group rate.
Potential Sites include: Chippewa Conservation Area (Niagara area) and the Valen Conservation Area (north of Hamilton), the latter being preferred site.
Please contact me by the end of April if you are interested so that we can determine if there would be enough persons interested in a course.
