Additional Camp Instruction from local POC Instructors:

Swiftwater rescue – Do you know what to do if you get into trouble in a river? Would you enjoy your time on the water more with friends and family if you knew how to help them if they get into trouble? Come experience, analyze, prepare for and execute rescue scenarios with the guidance of professional rescue instructors.

Fishing 101 – Do you want to be where the fish are without them knowing that you are there? Discover where to go, what to bring, and how to catch the next “big one” from a kayak or canoe.

Rafting/ River permits – What do you paddle if you want or need to bring more than just the most basic equipment on the river? Some of America 's best stretches of river require multi-day trips, and only allow limited access. Find out how you can join local, and national groups to do these trips, and plan to organize your own trip with the help of experienced instructors.
