  Is this the same course that has been offered in the past? Or is this a more advanced level? Why do we need a more advanced level?

  yes. L4 is Whitewater Kayaking on ACA’s span of kayak instruction.

  River Kayaking
  This class is “up to” Level 4, so students can actually qualify as Level 3 or Level 2 Instructors if they don’t qualify as L4.

  I think it’s on your card, but I think most of you are L4 – Whitewater Kayak.
  
  You could also log onto your account at ACA & check, I think… I could be wrong about that (but it would make sense…).

  What time does the Friday class start? How long on Sunday does the class last? I am interested but may not be able to make it work for this coming weekend.
  
  Thank you,

  John –
  
  Just got the schedule (except for this Friday). But I think this Friday night’s class runs from 5-9; the uncertainty is that Ty is trying to locate a classroom.
  
  Sat-Sun 9am-6pm at Simpson Lake
  
  Fri Apr 13 5-9 pm (at the Saint)
  
  Sat-Sun 9am-6pm

    There is a community center in Valley Park, William Brignole Center. St Louis Canoe and Kayak club has their meetings there. I don’t have any contact information, but maybe they’d work with Ty if it’s available.
