Founded in 1880\, the ACA is the gold standard of instruction methods and techniques for paddlesports training. Polish your kayaking technique as you learn experientially based methods of teaching others quickly and effectively. This course is not a “learn to paddle” course. It is designed to help the experienced river paddler learn to design and run effective courses\, and unravel the mysteries of teaching others! Your days will consist of time on the water practicing techniques and teaching methods\, and at our land classroom working on course design\, administrative skills\, presentation methods and video review and evaluation. \n \n\n\nAs an ACA Instructor Trainer/Educator in Whitewater Kayaking\, Swiftwater Rescue and Whitewater Rafting\, my goal is to help you meet your potential\, which is often far greater than you realize! Over the past 27 years of teaching and guiding on rivers in the US and abroad\, I have discovered numerous effective ways to help my students advance and learn\, and I look forward to bringing that to Missouri’s whitewater paddlers! \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWed am – Sunday pm. Registration through Ozark Safety and Rescue Educators (OSRA) and taught by Tom Burroughs. \n\n\nFor most everyone\, Standard (NON- TRR) registration for ACA L-3/4 Kayak Instructor Candidate.\nTeam River Runner (TRR) veteran / service member registration for ACA L-3/4 Kayak Instructor Candidate registration.\n\n\nPost-registration\, please study the letter the instructor will send you.  It will have pre-course assignments in it and a gear list. \nThis five-day (40-hour min) course prepares participants to teach and model the paddling skills\, technical knowledge\, rescue ability\, teaching ability\, group management\, and interpersonal skills needed to teach river or whitewater kayaking. L3/4 students say that their kayaking skills are greatly elevated by the ability to demonstrate and instruct. \nCourse Prerequisites – the skills described in the ACA Level 3 & 4 Kayaking Skills Assessment\, which include the following (note: beginning in 2027\, ACA will require that an instructor have gained and taught at an L3 level prior to pursuing an L4 certification): \n1. A reliable river roll that works in Class II/III water; \n2. Completion of (a) the appropriate level kayaking skills course or equivalent kayak skill; AND (b) assessment by an ACA L3 or L4 instructor using the following list (instructor credentials matching the level the student candidate is pursuing). See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8m9hBZCcRAM&list=PLRPQF2MRPvGj6pY6gYk7LX4sv7aeFo1xx&index=14&pp=iAQB : \n\nLevel 3: River Kayaking\nLevel 4: Whitewater Kayaking\n\nIf your assessment instructor\, who is currently ACA credentialed\, indicates you “need more practice” on a skill\, you can practice. Then you need to have an ACA instructor re-assess that skill and sign off as “Pass” on all skills PRIOR to class.The teaching venue will be Missouri’s St. Francis River.  L3 candidates have the option to portage any rapids of the lower St Francis River beyond their ability. \n3. Students of an ACA class must be current members of the ACA in advance of the course\, https://americancanoe.org/join-the-aca/ \n4. Completion of an ACA Swiftwater Rescue (SWR) class is strongly suggested\, but not required. \nSee Course Curriculum – ACA (americancanoe.org)\, “River Kayaking” for the above Assessments\, Instructor Criteria\, and sample skills course content that successful L3/L4 instructors will be prepared to teach. \nFull refunds will be issued by the instructor in the event of course cancellation. \nLocation: The course will be based out of Cinco de Mayo Campground – Riverside RV Park in Farmington and the St Francis River\, Millstream Gardens.  The campground can offer accommodations and a meal plan\, which you arrange directly with them. \nTaught by Tom Burroughs\, SwiftwaterRescue@gmail.com\, 479-595-1655 (credentials below).  Working with Tom Burroughs to teach this program\, assisted by Glenn Harman\, L4-WWK Instructor Trainer\, ACA L4 Whitewater Kayak and Canoe Instructor\, as well as an L4 Swiftwater Instructor. Glenn has worked for the State of Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for more than 18 years\, where he leads DNR’s paddling instructional programs. Glenn is an avid paddler\, traveling all over the country to paddle class 3 and 4 whitewater rivers such as the Ocoee and Arkansas rivers in Tennessee and Colorado. Glenn has also traveled out of the US to paddle the Rio Clara River in Chile and the Ottawa River in Canada.
