The 2012 WKC WW Class is in April this year instead of March, and the last river day for the students will be Saturday, May 5th (Cinco de Mayo).  We would like to offer a bunch of class II and II+ trips for the students who will have just graduated from the basic course.  In 2011 on the students last class day, we invited those trip leaders who were scheduled for class II/II+ trips to the last 30 minutes of class for a "meet-n-greet".  This was a big hit with the students and we found it gave them an opportunity to meet and talk with the trip leaders in a comfortable environment, instead of making cold-calls the week prior to a trip they wanted to attend.  It also allowed them to ask questions about different rivers, listen and get to know the trip leaders and get a better understanding of what is involved when attending a WKC trip.  We would like to do a "repeat" for the 2012 class ").

SO.. If you are interested in leading class II or II+ trips in May and want to support the new boaters coming out of class, pick a date and river that falls within the class II/II+ range during the month of May/June and come to the WKC WW Trip Planning Party to sign up!  You can also advise Nicole LeBlanc ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) of your date/river if you can't make it to the WW Trip Planning party.  Once you sign up and as we finalize the trip schedule the instructors for the WW class will also send an invite to the meet-n-greet on April 17th - so mark your calendars!
