ACA paddling instruction and water safety for new boaters, and families. not like the whitewater school we put on at the mulberry. but more of the lines of the rec. school. only with the progression levels basic, level I level II and level III river canoeing and kayaking. along with guided raft trips . it has taken 2 years for the permit process to take place. ... seems the department of the interior couldn't google up "painterbob" to give me security clearance. but , they did say they remember me safely getting the governor off the river during a flash flood a few years back :poke: . I'm still jumping up 'n down with excitement .... :clap: :clap: :clap:

Perfect. This sounds exactly like what I need. I have a 13 year old and an 8 year old. Are there age restrictions? I see that many classes exclude the younger kids, and they problably need it most. (Though I do understand the liability and the immaturity...soooooo immature :D )

:clap: Great news!!! I'll be watching for progress reports as you get 'er going! You shoulda been with us on Jack's Fork and Eleven Point last weekend. Lots of maneuvering was needed in all those little turns, and around all the downed trees. Just ask LouisCov & Minna . . .
Congratulations!
