This weekend is reserved for groups to develop their whitewater skills together. Boy Scouts, Green Bay Kids Kayaking and other youth groups who have been learning flatwater paddling, will advance their skills to include whitewater! If you have a group of students and instructors and would like to participate in this weekend, contact us.
Wausau Whitewater will also host a Swiftwater Rescue Clinic at this time. This two day clinic teaches recognition and avoidance of common river hazards, execution of self-rescue techniques and rescue techniques for paddlers in distress. Fundamental and more advanced techniques for dealing with hazards that carry greater risks for both victim and rescuer, such as strainers, rescue vest applications, entrapments, and pins also are practiced.
Practice water is available at Feature #4 for the National Freestyle competitors during this weekend.
