SUMMARY:Canyon Leader Course
DESCRIPTION:Canyon Leader Course (RSVP HERE) \nThis course is the “top step” of our three tiered canyon leadership program\, an achievement that is no simple task. It is for those who have dedicated many hours of time to technical skill training and are ready to begin mastering some of the toughest challenges of all… safely Leading humans when they are happy\, scared\, exited\, bored..\, and assisting them if they are in trouble. \nThe focus of this intensive 3 day course is to imbed confidence in technical rescue abilities\, environmental assessments and group management techniques. A solid technical “strength” allows Leaders to focus on the multiples of other critical elements at hand. They must learn to simultaneously understand the groups abilities and expectations\, to mitigate ever changing canyon challenges…the list is long. This course aspires to make technical skills\, group management and environmental dynamics all a priority of focus. \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 Canyon Leader Course: \nhttps://canyoneering.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/ACA-CL-Skills-Checklist-12-21-21.pdf \nPREREQUISITES: Completion of Core\, Aspirant and Assistant Leader Courses or equivalent training required.

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.

SUMMARY:COURSE / ACA CORE Skills
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 objective of our “Core” course is to teach the canyoneering skills needed to safely become an “active participant” in 3A and 3B rated canyons. An “active participant” is capable of evaluating and applying the basic fundamentals of safety\, including confident rappelling and belaying (protecting partner)\, competence in identifying correct anchor and rigging techniques and have an understanding of environmental risks. This course WILL NOT prepare you for an advanced level canyon such as Imlay Cyn\, Choprock Cyn. Period. However\, it WILL empower you with the skills and mindset to see and experience some of the World’s most stunning scenery. \nACA Philosophy: Take this serious: Think Yoga\, and not Ninja Warrior. The best canyoneers understand and apply super low impact techniques. Low impact on the environment and low impact on themselves. Keeping our heart rates and respirations to a minimum\, avoiding over exertion or unnecessary stress is best. “Aggressive” movements (straining) are much less safe and can impact the environment negatively. Same with “stressing out”. It’s difficult to see all options and make good choices under those type conditions. The greatest canyoneers go slowly\, work well together\, are kind to the environment and make a series of excellent choices…….easy money! \nTopics Covered in Core Course: \n-Canyon Rating System\n-Environmental Risks\n-Equipment care\n-Basic knots\n-Anchors\n-Rigging\n-Rappelling and Belays\n-Down Climbing and “Spotting” \nFor more details\, the majority of the items on this list will be covered. \nhttps://canyoneering.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Core-Skills-Checklist-4-22-20.pdf \nBe safe\, have fun!! \nFEE: $275 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: This Course will be filled on a “first paid\, first served” basis.  Please call or email for bookings. \nPayments are 100% refundable until 60 days prior to course start date. Cancelations after this date are Non-Refundable and Non-Transferable. \nPlease email info@canyoneering.net or call 435.826.4714 with questions or to arrange payment via Venmo. \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.

SUMMARY:COURSE / ACA Technical Level 2
DESCRIPTION:This Advanced Level two day course will be held at the ACA Headquarters in Escalante Utah. We will select training areas that will maximize our opportunities to focus on specific anchors\, rescue and leadership skills. Canyoneering 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 more learning. \nGoal: The primary objectives of our “Technical 2” course is to help students become a more “sovereign canyoneer”. Not a solo canyoneer\, but a Team member who can competently assess a wider range of technical challenges for themselves and the group. A member who operates with a level of understanding that allows them to begin helping others enjoy a safe and fun experience. We want to work towards maximizing our “canyon presence”\, becoming more and more aware of our natural and human surroundings. As always\, the improvements in personal and overall group safety are worth the time/investment. Remember\, 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 elevate your game and begin the first steps towards helping others see and experience the beauty and comradery found within the canyon walls. \nACA Philosophy: Take this seriously\, 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! \nThis course will include most items found on the ACA Canyon Leader 1 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/CL1-Skills-Checklist-4-22-20.pdf \nFEE: $315 Per Person.
