January 4, 2006
-- Atlanta, GA
The Third Annual Chute (the Atlanta Metro) Hooch Wildwater Training Camp is scheduled for
January 21-22, 2006. The Training camp will be held in the Roswell/Atlanta GA area. Last year's camp
was a blast and was well attended by racers of varying skill levels. The mild Hotlanta winter weather
and some great training areas for flatwater and easy whitewater make an excellent venue. Coaches will
include many time USA Team members Chris Hipgrave and John Pinyerd and we are working on other
guest coaches.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
We will be able to accommodate a wide range of racing skill levels. This camp is well suited for
Juniors and new or developing racers. Accomplished paddlers interested in trying Wildwater
(especially those from other USACK disciplines) and Wildwater Team members (Jr and Sr) in the region
should plan on attending. All attendees must be able to self rescue on flatwater (Sat) and up to
class II whitewater on Sunday.
COST:
Like all USA Wildwater training camps, there are no fees for the camp, only the requirement that
participants are USACK members. Please be prepared to show your USACK card. Please contact
www.USACK.org should you need to
join USACK.
