NateHanson Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hello Paddlers! We have a couple new courses this year for those who find themselves leading others on the water - to help you be a more effective, safe, and confident leader. In late June I will be working with Ryan Rushton, Level 5 Instructor Trainer (and former owner of Geneva Kayak Center) to offer the ACA's brand new L4 Trip Leader Training and Assessment. This program is appropriate for paddlers with established personal skills, who would like to be trained and assessed in group management, trip planning, incident management, and more, in Open Water Coastal Kayaking conditions. You can learn more about this program by clicking here. At the end of May Pinniped Kayak will again be offering it's 6-day Leadership and Guide Training, but this year we are separating the Maine Guide Test Preparation aspect from the on-water skills training. This is in response to a number of requests (some from members of this group) to help paddlers with established leadership skills (such as the BCU 4-star award), to prepare for the Maine Guide Exam. Therefore, those who meet certain prerequisites may sign up for 2 days of exam preparation on June 4th and 5th. Participants who don't need a Guide's license, but want to work on their personal skills and leadership abilities, can sign up for 4 days of skills and leadership training during the Memorial Day weekend. And of course you may also sign up for all six days, to receive both practical training, and exam preparation. Spring is coming soon. Hope to see many of you on the water again this season!
