Help new kayakers develop the basic skills they need to be safe on the water! The ACA Level 2: Essentials of Kayak Touring certification qualifies you to teach introductory kayak skills in a variety of kayaks (sea, recreational, sit-on-top) in a protected and calm water location. A great way for camp waterfront staff to add kayaking to their programs, this certification is also appropriate for instructors who limit their teaching to inland lakes.
