Recreational Kayaking (Introductory Course)
Wanting to explore the waters in our local area?
After some basic instruction on paddle strokes, reading
the river, and potential hazards, you will kayak a 7- to 8-mile
stretch of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Keowee and
Manatee kayaks, which have large open cockpits extending from
the paddlers knees to the seat back, will be used: if the boat
overturns, you’ll simply fall out. Unlike white-water kayaks,
these boats require no special training to enter, exit or
paddle. Sessions meet in the front of Plecker Workforce Center
at 9:00 am on Saturday, lasting until 5:00 pm.
Clothing requirements and details will be sent at the
time of registration.

Rock Climbing
This course will be a beginner level introduction to rock
climbing. For safety reasons all climbing will be done with a
top-rope anchor. This allows climbers the safety and security to
focus on learning basic climbing techniques without the fear of
falling. You will learn the basic elements involved with a
climbing system; however, instructors will do all belaying of
climbers for this course. The course will be a day long trip
with all equipment provided. You need to bring a bag lunch and
water bottles, and have the physical ability to walk over a mile
into and out of the climbing area. Due to the nature of this
course, each student will need to sign a liability waiver prior
to participation.
Meet in BRCC Weyers Cave Parking Lot beside the Plecker Center
at 9 am.

NEW!! at BRCC for 2009
-
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to ride a
motorcycle...
-
If you are signed up to take the Basic Rider Course (BRC)
and want to get a head start on your learning...
-
If you attempted a BRC (Beginning Rider Course), but were
overwhelmed with the initial riding experience...
...then Jump Start is for
you!
The Jump Start class is designed for those who have never ridden
a motorcycle. It also serves as remedial training for those who
have attempted a BRC. This class provides more time for those
initial riding experiences (e.g. learning the “friction zone”)
that are more challenging for some of us. Because the Jump Start
class does not substitute for the BRC and no completion card is
issued, there is no pressure on you to “pass”.
Come experience the fun!!
In the Jump Start class, you will learn:
-
Operation and functions of basic motorcycle controls
-
Starting and stopping a motorcycle
-
Operating a motorcycle in a straight line at slow speeds
-
Clutch and throttle coordination
-
Shifting gears
