NOC's Paddling School has a history of providing some of the best women's whitewater kayak courses and now we're making it even better! NOC's talented female instructors are creating the most friendly, supportive, safe and fun women's courses and retreats in the world.
Every women's whitewater kayak course is open to all levels of paddlers, from women who have never paddled before to female paddlers who are experienced and want to push their limits. This new format allows women of different skill levels to come together and empower each other by sharing their experience and knowledge off the water. On the water, you'll be grouped according to skill/experience level to optimize the instructor-to-student ratio and maximize skill development. NOC's outstanding female instructors will be leading the courses and Anna will be leading select course dates throughout the summer.
While you're here you will find comfortable lodging and healthy meals conveniently located at NOC's Nantahala River Campus. All of the gear you need to safely enjoy your time on the water is included in these clinics. NOC's Paddling School carries the latest equipment, especially for women, to ensure a good fit and a comfortable time on the river.
