Description:

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 Instructors can also receive an Update for certification maintenance.  Non-Instructors can earn an ACA Certificate of Completion.

Though American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA), Adaptive Expeditions has been pre-approved to offer Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) Continuing Education Units for this workshop.

For kayakers with physical disabilities (and those interested in becoming kayakers), the final two days of this 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 Adaptive Expeditions on kayaking day-trips and expeditions.  To participate for free during the final two days of this APW please call Joe Moore at Adaptive Expeditions (843.637.7269), email Joe@AdaptiveExpeditions.org, or use the registration link below.  Register Here
