SUMMARY:Sovereign Course
DESCRIPTION:ACA Sovereign Course – RSVP HERE \nThis is the second level\, of the two level\, ACA Recreational Canyoneer Program. We recommend completing this course to become a “sovereign” canyoneer. \nThe primary objectives of our Sovereign Canyoneer Course is to provide additional skills sets for those wishing to become directly involved in assessing and mitigating canyon technical problems. By building on the solid foundation of our Core skills list\, Sovereign Canyoneer will break down the essentials of canyoneering and prepare people for the challenges and rewards of making excellent canyoneering choices\, with competent peers. To be clear\, this course WILL NOT prepare you to LEAD canyon. It WILL empower you with the skills and mindset to see and experience EVEN MORE of the World’s most stunning scenery! \nThis three day course will be held in Escalante Utah. We are fortunate to select from dozens of technically rated slot canyons\, from which we provide our “in canyon” training. Students time is spent applying newly learned skills directly in a dynamic slot canyon environment. Participants in these courses should be prepared for three full days of learning\, teamwork and fun. \nACA Philosophy: Take this serious\, in all training\, in all canyons: Think Yoga….. not American Ninja Warrior. We must relax and raise personal and situational awareness. The best canyoneers\, that do the “biggest canyons”\, understand and apply super low impact techniques. Low impact on the environment and low impact on themselves. Keeping heart rates and respirations to a minimum\, avoiding over exertion or unnecessary stress is definitely best. “Aggressive” movements (straining) are much less safe\, less efficient and can impact the environment negatively. The greatest canyoneers go slowly\, work well together\, are kind to the environment…..all while making a series of excellent choices……good stuff! \nTopics Covered in the Sovereign Canyoneer Course: CLICK HERE \nPREREQUISITES: Completion of Core Course or equivalent experience required. CLICK HERE for required experience. \nRATE: $478.00 Per Person. Rate includes ACA Certified Instructor\, coffee/tea in the morning & sorbet in the afternoon. Tax and Meetup processing fees included. 3 person minimum to conduct workshop. \nPAYMENT POLICY:\nPayments are refundable until 60 days prior to course start date.

SUMMARY:Core Course
DESCRIPTION:ACA Core Course – RSVP HERE \nThis is the first level\, of the two level ACA Recreational Canyoneer Program. We recommend folks complete the program to become a “sovereign” canyoneer. \nGoal: The objective of the ACA “Core” course is to teach the introductory level canyoneering skills needed to safely become an “active participant” when in appropriately rated canyons. An “active participant” is capable of evaluating and applying the basic fundamentals of personal and team safety. This includes confidence in rappelling and belaying (protecting partner)\, competence in identifying correct anchor and rigging techniques and have a good understanding of environmental risks. This course WILL NOT prepare you for an advanced level canyon such as Imlay Cyn\, Choprock Cyn. Don’t get tricked by your friends! IT WILL show you the skills and mindset needed to safely see and experience some of the World’s most stunning scenery. \nThis three day introductory level training will be held in Escalante Utah. We are fortunate to select from dozens of technically rated slot canyons\, which provide optimal “in canyon” training opportunities.

Keep heart rate and respirations to a minimum\, avoid over exertion or unnecessary stress when possible. “Aggressive” physical actions (straining) are less safe and can impact the environment negatively. Stress has a similar effect. It’s difficult to see all options and make good choices under those type conditions.

SUMMARY:COURSE / ACA Technical Level 1
DESCRIPTION:This two day course will be held at the ACA Headquarters in Escalante Utah. Here\, we are fortunate to select from dozens of technically rated slot canyons\, from which we provide our “in canyon” training. Students time is spent applying newly learned skills directly in a dynamic slot canyon environment. Participants in these courses should be prepared for two full days of learning\, teamwork and fun….. in a beautiful setting. \nGoal: The primary objectives of our “Technical 1” is to help students become an “experienced participant”. We want to empower them with the skills to expand their potential canyon options and to increase their role in canyon obstacle assessment and in the implementation of canyoneering strategies. An “experienced participant” is capable of applying the more complex tasks and providing “workable feedback” to group Leaders. The improvements in personal and overall group safety are worth the time/investment and it elevates peoples experience significantly. This course WILL NOT prepare you to lead an advanced level canyon such as Imlay Cyn\, Choprock Cyn\, etc. Period. However\, it WILL empower you with the skills and mindset to see and experience EVEN MORE of the World’s most stunning scenery! Maybe even Imlay….just don’t lead \nACA Philosophy: Take this serious\, in all training\, in all canyons: Think Yoga….. not American Ninja Warrior. We must relax and raise personal and situational awareness. The best canyoneers\, that do the “biggest canyons”\, understand and apply super low impact techniques. Low impact on the environment and low impact on themselves. Keeping heart rates and respirations to a minimum\, avoiding over exertion or unnecessary stress is definitely best. “Aggressive” movements (straining) are much less safe\, less efficient and can impact the environment negatively. The greatest canyoneers go slowly\, work well together\, are kind to the environment…..all while making a series of excellent choices…….easy money! \nTopics Covered in “Technical 1” Course: \nThis course will include most items found on the ACA Aspirant Skills list. The Class C water related skills will be offered in a separate\, Class C specific course. \nhttps://canyoneering.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Aspirant-Skills-Checklist-4-22-20.pdf \nFEE: $295 Per Person. Includes an ACA Certified Instructor\, coffee/tea in the morning & ice cream in the afternoon. Tax not included. 3 person minimum to conduct workshop. \nWe have basic gear available for rent. Rates are Per Day.\n$10 – Helmet\n$10 – Harness\n$5 – Combo – ATC & Carabiner\n$5 – Gloves \nPAYMENT: We accept Venmo for Course Payment. \nRESERVATIONS: Please call or email to reserve your space.  info@canyoneering.net or 435.826.4714 \nPayments are 100% refundable until 60 days prior to course start date. Cancelations after this date are Non-Refundable and Non-Transferable. \n***We recommend purchasing trip insurance. \nThe weather in Escalante can change quickly whether before the trip or during it. We expect that you come prepared with rain jacket/gear. Cancellation due to bad weather is determined day of the trip. All guests must be present at time of determination. If we determine that the weather would make the trip unsafe\, and therefore cancel\, you will receive a full refund. \n**Please note that the location of ANY trip is subject to change based upon the current weather (precipitation\, temperature etc.) and group. Safety First.
