"Your back to basics approach has opened my eyes to the kind of paddler I can become. Subtle changes in my paddling style have brought great results. I would highly recommend this camp to everyone and plan to attend again myself."

What our Gold Medal clients have to say....

"I appreciated the layering of skill practice, starting with basic technique and building up from there, breaking everything down to the core skills.I was really surprised at how many of those core skills I hadn't been taught before. Your explanations helped my comprehension and gave me clear goals to take away."

*************

"I was very impressed with the coaches' ability to dissect our performances within seconds. The repetition drills and running lines were great because you get immediate feedback and then could adjust to see improvement.."

This Four-day event on the Payette River is our most comprehesive whitewater instructional program of the season. Set in one of the world's best "whitewater classrooms," this intensive allows students to learn and refine the most important whitewater skills for developing real proficiency on the river - "big-water" strategy, precision in powerful current, and wave surfing and hole-riding to name a few.

Students can expect hands-on, personalized attention and coaching for two daily on-water sessions. Off the water, the Long Family's brand of Idaho hospitality will be front and center - great food, drink, and conversation on the river-side veranda high above the banks of the Payette.

Participants should have some previous paddling experience and be comfortable on easy class III water. A bomb-proof river roll, while encouraged, is NOT an absolute requirement for this camp.
