Taupo - White Water Development Camp

White Water Development Camps - Over the next few months we will be running White Water Develpoment Camps for long boats (Sea Kayaks or Multisport) and Short Boats (River Runners, Creek Boats and play boats) Suitable for up and coming paddlers who wish to try something different or new paddlers venturing onto moving water. The courses will be based in Taupo on the Waikato and on the Grade 2 section of the Mohaka. We will also be running a camp with Pete Townend and an NZOIA 2 Assessor over the summer so keep an eye out for dates on the Taupo homepage.

We will meet at the C&K Taupo store at 8am and head on down to the Waikato where you will be introduced to moving water and shown the basics of river paddling in the afternoon we have a wet session of rescue practice and kayak rescue drills. On the second day we head to the Mohaka River to experience grade 2 and use the skills learned the previous day. We expect to get wet and have heaps of fun learning these new skills. It is an excellent couple of days tuition on how to be safe when paddling on our fine rivers we have in abundance here in NZ.
