Options to get certified as an ACA Kayak Instructor while working with Georgia Rivers!

Georgia Rivers is committed to expanding access to paddlesports skills and training for beginners all over our region. We believe that people who recreate on our rivers will advocate for their protection. We know river recreation is a gateway to tourism revenue for small communities and offers a mechanism to keep property taxes low for every homeowner. And paddlers who learn to be more skillful and prepared will enjoy our sport for a lifetime.

To that end, Georgia Rivers is dedicated to mentoring future instructors to help Georgians statewide bridge the outdoor recreation gap.  Read more about our program in the Georgia Rivers blog: “Leveling Up” the Paddling Club Tradition of ‘Training the Trainer’ to Empower Diversity Outreach Across Georgia |
