Flatwater Leader Training - June 8, 2019

Classroom session

I spent the day running a flatwater leader training for the Blackstone River Heritage Corridor and RICKA at the River Bend Farm.

We met at 10:30 in the conference room in the visitor center for the classroom session on Trip Planning and Logistics. After a break for lunch on the patio (pizza from Harry’s), we went out to the river for the on-water session. We did the canal/river loop starting from River Bend Farm. The river was low (3.2 feet) but runnable. We also did demonstrations with tow ropes and throw bags.

We had 14 for the class and 12 for the paddle - no swims!
