At the core of the ACA Adaptive Program, Adaptive Paddling Workshops (APWs) provide the information necessary to seamlessly integrate individuals with physical disabilities into outdoor recreation programs in the context of paddlesports. ACA Certified Instructors can earn the Adaptive Paddling Endorsement.  ACA Certified Instructors can also receive an Update or certification maintenance.  Non-Instructors can earn an ACA Certificate of Completion.

For kayakers with physical disabilities (and those interested in becoming kayakers), the final day of this 2-day APW offers a perfect opportunity to learn from experts about how to modify equipment and the techniques to paddle comfortably, safely and with a high level of performance.  Participating in the APW will prepare you to  join kayaking day-trips and expeditions.

To participate during the final day of this APW as a paddlesport student with a physical disability contact Chris Hipgrave at chris.hipgrave@noc.com

ACA Certified Instructors who want to register as an ACA Instructor Endorsement Candidate for the entire  workshop, please contact Chris Hipgrave at chris.hipgrave@noc.com
