Lake Canoe Skills Intermediate Solo

The aim is to expand upon the skills and principles necessary to paddle solo on open lake waters, to perform skills and maneuvers with greater refinement and demonstrate confidence in an open water environment, and to develop a greater awareness of environmental hazards and how to avoid/react to those hazards.

Activities focus on safety and comfortable paddling. Activities should concentrate on progress, refinement, teamwork and environmental awareness. Paddlers should be capable of performing water-based rescue techniques. Paddlers should leave the course encouraged to continue learning and aware of their individual limitations.

The successful intermediate lake solo candidate is considered an intermediate solo lake canoeist, capable of performing a variety of land and water-based rescues and more advanced solo strokes and maneuvers. Maneuvers within the intermediate program require greater precision and control.
