  • If you are a current ORCKA Instructor in any discipline, you can quickly add to your existing Instructor skills in this special, shorter “Bridge” course. Bridge courses are run when the ORCKA program needs more instructor in specific disciplines. Bridge courses build on existing instructor skills while focusing mainly on paddling skills in the new discipline (in this case, SUP). 
     
    If you want to improve your SUP skills, and would like to become a SUP Instructor, this special SUP Bridge course offers an efficient way for you as an existing instructor to be certified to teach Safe SUP and SUP Level 1 courses in addition to your existing instructor paddling disciplines - broadening your versatility and your ability to teach what you enjoy doing! 
     
    Free camping is available onsite at the quiet waterfront course location. Indoor and outdoor washrooms are available, and an indoor shower is available if the clean lake water is too fresh! Participants will be in charge of their own food and prep. A large kitchen with 2 stoves, 2 fridges, 2 freezers, and 2 microwaves is available, along with a barbeque or bring your own campstove or cook on the firepit! Enjoy your meals in the comfort of a large screened-in gazebo with 3 picnic tables for participants’ use.
