2 students

Dates:
* 07/17/11 – Sunday of Quarterly Meeting (evening class will be Saturday night).
Other dates are possible with enough notice

Topics Covered:
* Boofing

* Small class size allows for flexibility in the topics covered just let me know what you want to work on (don't get your hopes up that I can get you cartwheeling like Guy though)

Requirements:
* You must be comfortable on the Lower Yough. It’s important that you be able to focus on skills and technique more so then surviving the river.
* Some semblance of a creek boat (an RPM is still not a creek boat – not even in Maine), paddle and whitewater helmet, pfd, and skirt
* Food, water, appropriate clothing, and whatever other trinkets and knick knacks you need for a FULL day on the river
