Description
Our white water leader development week is for those who are looking to complete their leader assessment but would like a refresher on leadership principles, safety and the opportunity to lead real groups. This is also open to people that have not completed a formal training but feel they are ready for the assessment, as training is no longer a pre requisite for assessment of BCAB Leadership awards, however the other assessment prerequisites will need to be in place. (please see below)
Everyone attending should have already been out and developed their leading and feel they are close or ready for an assessment.
The week is set at a maximum of 4 leaders to give everyone the most development possible and time leading.
Program:
Day 1 – Leadership refresher and personal skill development
Day 2 – leading real students in 2 / 3
Day 3 – White water safety refresher and personal skills development
Day 4 – Leader Assessments
Day 5 – Leader Assessments
(on days 4 and 5 only 2 candidates will be assessed each day. If you are not on assessment that day is another opportunity to get out and paddle with other aspirant leaders)
We will use a range of simulated scenarios to refresh and cement safe paddling strategies along with a variety of different rescue skills and aim to:
- Improve individual’s awareness of group safety skills in the river environment
- Develop personal and group decision-making skills on the river
- Refresh rescue techniques from the WWS or WWSR
- Develop understanding the need for structure in an emergency situation
- Develop rounded leaders who will thrive in the grade 2 / 3 moderate environment
Duration
5 days (4 days contact time with the coach, one day personal development)
