Kayak L3 - L4 ACA current instructor update 2-day

Updates are open exclusively to individuals who are currently valid ACA certified instructors. The goal of this clinic is to help instructors refine their skills and stay current with best practices in paddling instruction. A strong instructor not only demonstrates proficient paddling techniques but also uses memorable teaching methods, exercises sound judgment, and ensures that sessions remain engaging and fun for all participants. This course is designed for those with prior paddling and teaching experience who wish to enhance their abilities and maintain the highest standards of instruction.

During the clinic, participants will review current ACA best practices and teaching techniques, explore relevant updates to ACA guidelines, and practice a variety of instructional methods in both classroom and on-water settings. Instructors will have the opportunity to refine their skills, receive feedback, and collaborate with peers to improve teaching effectiveness. It is important to note that participation in this clinic does not guarantee meeting the update requirement. Each participant must demonstrate competency at their current level of certification to successfully fulfill the ACA update standards. This focused approach ensures instructors maintain professional excellence while continuing to provide safe, engaging, and effective paddling experiences for their students.
