If you can commit to this date, then we have the opportunity to provide you with a steep discount and hold a private training exclusively for HCRR members. Standard price is $365, but in this case, the price would be between an incredible $195 and $295 per person, depending on how many of us sign up. We need a minimum of 8 participants.
The more people who commit, the cheaper it gets for everyone:
12 people ($195 per person)
11 people ($215 per person)
10 people ($235 per person)
9 people ($260 per person)
8 people ($295 per person)
The initial deposit is $195, however the final price may be as much as $295 if fewer than 12 members register. If prompted for a login, be sure to log in with your HCRR-registered email.

About the instructor
Nik has been instructing whitewater kayaking for over 15 years. He is a certified ACA Instructor in Whitewater Kayaking, Packrafting, and Swiftwater Rescue. He learned to kayak at Wilderness Voyageurs on the Yough River outside Pittsburgh and has kayaked and rafted rivers all over the world, including trips to Alaska, Mexico, France, and Peru. He consistently does over a month of overnight boating trips on multi-day rivers every year (which unfortunately means he might be out of service for a couple weeks here and there every year!)
Nik was the ACA National Instructor of the Month in October 2023. He presented at the 2023 National Swiftwater Rescue Conference. He is on the curriculum committees with the ACA for Whitewater Kayaking, Packrafting, and Swiftwater Rescue. All in all, he is one of the most experienced and prolific instructors in the US.
