Level 4: Swiftwater Rescue Instructor Development Workshop (IDW only)
Eugene, OR, USA
Each year, the City of Eugene River House Outdoor Center offers opportunities for paddlesports professionals and enthusiasts to earn a variety of nationally and internationally recognized Instructor Certification Workshops. Several certification levels and disciplines are available and are chosen based on community needs. Current ACA instructors can complete update requirement to keep certifications current during these courses.
At least once each year, the City of Eugene River House Outdoor Program offers special event called “ACA Week”, which consists of at least two ACA Instructor Certification Workshops run back to back. Spring of 2025 will offer a Level-IV Swift Water Rescue ICW and then a Level-IV Whitewater Kayak Certification. To efficiently provide these two courses we use an a combined schedule that not only meets the requirements of the ACA but also allows the Instructor Candidates to complete both ICWS in 8 days rather than the typical 10 days if the two ICWs were separate:
Part 1- Program Number 31267: Friday April 4-Saturday April 5: ACA Instructor Combined Module- Required regardless if you take one or both ICWs
Part 2- Program Number 31282: Sunday April 6- Tuesday April 8: Swift Water Rescue Specific Module
Part 3- Program Number 31275: Wednesday April 9- Friday April 11: Whitewater Kayak Specific Module
