Are you looking to develop your skills on the oars surrounded by women who want to do the same thing? Our Women on the Water 3-day Rowing Clinic is just what you need! Whether you are a brand-new rafter looking for the basics or an experienced boater looking to advance your abilities, we are here for you. This course is designed for beginner and intermediate rowers to learn and solidify the techniques that will help you navigate a day trip on your class II backyard run or a 21-day expedition down the Grand Canyon. 

With a maximum ratio of 3 students to 1 instructor, you will get plenty of practice at the oars. Join us for 3 days of building camaraderie with fellow women paddlers, learning in a supportive and empowering space, and gaining confidence while feeling safe and comfortable with our female ACA-certified instructors in wild and wonderful West Virginia.

Course Learning Objectives:
While navigating rapids in an oar rig raft, the participant will:
- Gain valuable whitewater experience in an environment that fosters connection, encouragement, and growth with like-minded women
- Learn to identify common whitewater features and hazards
- Become familiar with whitewater rafting equipment and the advantages/disadvantages of different styles of equipment
