COURSE DESCRIPTION: This ACA Level 1/2 SUP Instructor Certification Workshop (ICW) will help you develop the refined skill and understanding to teach others to standup paddle safely & effectively. This intensive three-day course is a fast paced workshop designed to familiarize you with the processes and curriculum of the American Canoe Association including teaching theory, learning theory, leadership, paddling concepts, trip planning & more. This course is suited for those that teach SUP now, plan to teach in the future or just want the training.
