Choose Your Training
Classes are kept small for personalized, one-on-one coaching tailored to your goals.
We recommend everyone start with the Crash Course or a private flat-water lesson before moving into downriver classes.
Crash Course
Build a strong paddling foundation with boat trim, basic strokes, technique, and teamwork. A great starting point for new and experienced paddlers before heading downriver.
Small Group: $95 per person
Duration: 2.5 hours
Learn to Read the River
Develop river-reading skills while practicing flat-water technique. Learn how to safely navigate the river and choose the best options for portaging dams, setting up for sweeper and rapids.
Small Group: $125 per person
Duration: 4-5 hours
Personalized Coaching
Get one-on-one instruction focused on your specific skills and goals. Perfect for flexible schedule, personalized technique refinement, or building confidence on the water.
Solo: $100 per hour
Tandem: $150 per hour
Private Down River Training
I offer a flat rate for down river lesson. Based on previous lessons we will choose a 5-14 mile section of the race course and paddle it together and share the shuttle.
Solo: $400
Tandem: $450

Plan Your Training
Every team is different. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all plan. My goal is simple: to help you reach your paddling goals. That looks different for each person.
Let’s talk about your paddling goals and find the right training for you.
