The Maine Kayak’s Intermediate course reviews basic skills and quickly progresses to more advanced paddling techniques. The purpose of this program is to give participants the opportunity to take kayaking to the next level. We will work on the eskimo roll, learn how to front and side surf, cartwheel, and more advanced skills. The course will be tailored to each individual needs and kayaking knowledge. This is the perfect continuation course after completing the beginner kayaker program.

DAY ONE:
Day One will begin with a morning on the water evaluation, during this time, the needs of all participants will be determined to properly cater the course to each individual. We will also review basic skills to ensure that each student has developed proper and safe form as a kayaker. After completing the morning session we will go to the Penobscot River for an afternoon of moving water fun!

DAY TWO:
On the morning of Day Two, we will go to the river in the morning and work on identifying river hazards and learn whitewater rescue techniques. This will prepare us for an afternoon of running whitewater and learning play boat skills. We will explore our options of running other Maine rivers in the area for a day of whitewater skill development while seeing new and exciting rivers. This optional river trip will depend on mother nature and the collective goals of the students. We will focus on advanced whitewater kayaking skills throughout this course. Came Paddle with us!
