OVERVIEW
The Essentials of Kayak Touring Instructor Certification Workshop (ICW) is part of a nationally recognized curriculum provided by the American Canoe Association. Participants are expected to come with with intermediate kayaking skills and an ability to teach skills outlined in the Essential Eligibility Criteria which is linked below. Some equipment will be provided, but will be limited to rescue equipment and maybe some extra paddling gear. Personal gear/clothing is the responsibility of the participant. Some rental kayaks may be available through Kokomo Kayak and Canoe Rentals.
The course is not a skills course and geared towards the more seasoned paddler looking for development as an ACA instructor candidate. It is a flatwater kayaking course geared towards educators, paddling club leadership, seasonal & professional paddlesports staff.
Students may be certified at either a full L2 or L1 depending on skill set.
