  • What to wear and bring

Rescue me! Or rather, let's all rescue one another!

This will be a refresher for those who have already taken ACA Level 2 courses and a primer for those looking to do so.

We will take tandem canoes to Bushwick Inlet (assuming the temperature continues to be in the billions) and practice swamping and rescuing them.

Bring clothes you can swim in! We will maintain a dry boat where we can store our belongings, but this is an in-water activity, and you will get wet. Wear clothes and shoes (shoes are absolutely mandatory) that can get wet and that will not come off (no flip-flops).

Registration preference will be given to members who volunteer consistently and are working toward trip assistant and trip leader status.
