Description
If you are having trouble registering for this event and the class has not reached capacity, click on the drop-down menu in the upper right corner immediately after logging into your account and click on "Upcoming Events". All attending participants must have an active membership. This is mandatory for insurance reasons.
This event is part of the summer training series after Paddle School. The training series is designed for beginner paddlers to practice and develop their skills to eventually run the Ocoee by the end of the season. They differ from Paddle School in that though no formal instruction takes place, the trips will have a trip leader and sufficient support boaters to assist in skills development. We will have fun, but this is not designed to be just a social gathering. We will work the river, not just cruise down it. You must be a TVCC member in order to attend, or you may register as a one time guest. Direct all questions to the trip leader or the training officer (training@tvccpaddler.com).

We will meet at the parking lot by the takeout at Hiwassee Outfitters at 11:00am. Link to location Hiwassee Outfitters. Please be on time because we will have a safety briefing.
