This was the best outdoor education I've experienced. The balance of conceptual introductions to just doing stuff in the river was fantastic.

Course description
Packraft Safety & Rescue is the result of teaching over 75 packraft and swiftwater rescue courses—what matters, and how to learn it.
We'll combine the relevant pieces of a Swiftwater Rescue Technician course with time in our packrafts—because boat control determines your ability to stay out of harm's way and reach someone who needs help.
Packraft Safety & Rescue is grounded in reality:
- What actually goes wrong: I track fatality records, collect close-call reports, and have thousands of miles of my own experience.
- The resources you actually have: Weight is a premium on many packrafting outings. But we can do a lot with a single rope and a few carabiners—and we will.
Taught by Luc Mehl and an all-star team of instructors.
From liability to asset: Paddle with confidence by choosing the right objectives, improving your communication skills, and preparing for the hard parts.
