This Level 1 course is for students and visitors alike. A great experience for anyone who wants to test out packrafting. Designed to teach the basics for any level of adventurer. We will cover how to use and paddle a packraft, river safety basics and how to execute entry-level packraft trips in class I rivers.
Level 1 provides students the full packrafting experience. Just ten minutes from Anchorage, on Eagle River, you will hike forty-five minutes on a gentle trail, stow gear, blow up your boat, learn efficient paddling technique and practice the skills required to “drive” your packraft safely down the river
