Canoeing
Join American Canoe Association certified instructor, Dana Thomas, in some weekend river travel. You will learn the skills necessary for safe and therefore relaxing travel on Class I rivers. Reading the river?s features and hazards, paddle stroke techniques, safety measures, and execution of basic maneuvers such as catching an eddy and ferrying will all be covered. Practice will start on a pond, move to a slow section of the Chena River, and then on to a faster section of the Chena. Canoes and safety equipment are provided. Profile: Dana Thomas, Assistant Provost for General Studies at UAF, has 30+ years of experience canoeing Alaska?s rivers.
