Arkansas Canoe Club’s annual School of Whitewater Paddling

May 1 @ 2:00 pm - May 3 @ 5:00 pm

Excellent paddling instruction, at many levels.  Classes are divided into Whitewater Kayak, Solo Whitewater Canoe, Tandem Whitewater Canoe, Swiftwater Rescue, and Standup Paddleboard.

Registration opens March 1st and often fills up.  See link,  School of Whitewater Paddling — Arkansas Canoe Club.

  • This annual event is always the weekend that includes the 1st Sunday of May, on the Mulberry River. In early May, the water is still quite chilly, and the weather can be very unpredictable. For Whitewater School, it’s important to have layers and gear that can keep you warm.

  • All participants MUST have a whitewater kayak or canoe to participate, or a Stand Up Paddling Board for a SUP class.

  • The Mulberry River, particularly at higher flows, will offer more rapids and challenging conditions to hone skills.

  • Whitewater School is a larger social event with a somewhat more “festive” atmosphere.

Updates will also be posted to the ACC Facebook page. If you have other questions, contact the School Director.

Please let the School Director know if you would be willing to volunteer as an instructor, assistant instructor, or support boater.  This is a great way to keep up your instruction skills!  Note: Family members will not be put in the same group.
