Canyon River Instruction

Super stoked to be working with the amazing Tommy Gram-Ahlene of Whitewater Attainment again this summer. Always a great time!

Excited to collaborate with Canyon River Instruction again this season.

This summer we’re teaming up for the ACA Level 5 Kayak Instructor Upgrade, a big step for instructors looking to move into Class IV teaching and sharpen decision making, rescue skills, and instructional presence in more complex environments.

This is a hands-on, on-the-water course built for experienced L4 instructors ready to take the next step. If that’s you, this is a solid opportunity to level up.
