Paddling 5 miles a day, walking up to 5 miles with 40 lb packs, swimming in rapids, sleeping in tents on a pad. This trip will include paddling on both flat-water and white-water.
Before paddling white-water we will cover river safety, and practice a short rapid swim with life jacket and helmet on, not about skill but building comfort.
