2007 Alberta Training Squad (ATS) Camps:
  • A series of slalom camps experienced coaches for intermediate and advanced paddlers interested in slalom training and racing.
  • Open to Midgets, Cadets, Juniors, Open and Masters (See Ranking for age group definitions).
  • Participants must be current Alberta Whitewater Association members.
  • Paddlers must be able to train on gates in a slalom boat* in Class 2 water (i.e., Kananaskis River from Miami Beach and paddle back up from the fish ladder).
  • New racers making the transition to class 2 slalom, who may be swept down or swim, will need to supply their own buddy boater capable of rescuing them. Young paddlers who do not have a reliable roll and are just learning whitewater will also need a personal rescuer.
