This Level 3 Coastal Kayak Trip Leader Award is a 4-day combined training and assessment, jointly offered by Nate Hanson, Todd Johnstone-Wright, and the Saint Michael’s College Adventure Sports Center. Candidates will be exposed to concepts and techniques for safely managing a group of sea kayakers while exploring tidal coastal environments.  Successful candidates will develop and demonstrate skills to properly plan trips, choose venues, assess a group's abilities, manage play, and resolve problems that arise in ACA L3 Coastal Kayaking conditions.  (10-15 knots wind, 1-2 foot seas, 1-2 foot surf, 1-2 knots current).  To provide candidates with authentic leadership experience we will involve practice students throughout the training and assessment. All candidates will leave with a comprehensive action plan for continued development of their leadership and personal skills.  More information about the L3 CKTL program can be obtained here.

Lodging for this course is at AMC’s lovely Knubble Bay Cabin in Georgetown. This beautiful off-the-grid energy efficient timber-framed cabin offers bunk-accommodations, kitchen and composting toilet. Cost of bunking or camping is $155, and includes 3 dinners.
