American Canoe Association Courses

ACA Canoe Instructor Course offering IDW/ICE, May 8-12, 2021 

ACA Kayak Instructor Certification Course offering IDW/ICE, May 22-24, 2021 

ACA Paddlesports Safety Facilitator Course, May 29-30, 2021 

ACA Canoe/Kayak Trip Leader Course, June 5-6, 2021 


COVID 19 and other communicable diseases:
Please be aware that we have several new protocols in place for our courses to help protect students and staff.  All participants will be required to follow these protocols to participate in the course.
1. A pre-screening questionnaire will be sent to all participants and staff regarding personal health and contacts with others.
2. Masks/face coverings for the nose and mouth are required for all on-land portions of the class and whenever participants are within 6 feet of each other on the water (ie tandem canoe partners will need to wear masks unless they are from the same household unit).  Face masks are recommended to be worn at all times during the course. 
3. A 2-3 hour virtual classroom session will be held prior to the course start date to minimize close contact.  Each participant is required to attend that session.
4. Daily temperature readings will be taken for all instructors and participants.  Anyone with a temperature over 100 will not be able to join the class.
5. All participants are required to bring hand sanitizer and bleach wipes with them to the class and have them available for frequent use on and off the water.
6. Rental gear will be sanitized and assigned to the same person for the duration of the course.  As much as possible, participants should bring their own equipment including rescue bags.
7. The expectation is that participants perform self rescues.  This will be practiced within the venue, and venues will be chosen to minimize the need for rescues.
8. As much as possible, class will be conducted at "park and play" spots, eliminating the need for shuttle.  This may necessitate additional drive times for the course.

Please note: Local and State regulations are subject to change with regards to travel, facilities, and resources.  This may mean changes to the course as well.  Please be as self-contained and flexible as possible so that we can all enjoy increasing our skills in a responsible manner.​

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
"Our son and daughter have been coming to Camp Bethel since they were 5 years old--they are now 13 and 14 years old. We have found that your camp is one of the few that our kids continue to enjoy even as they are older. Other camps (sometimes a lot more expensive) are nice but for some reason the magic of Camp Bethel remains. We also really respect the way that your camp incorporates God and Bible study but in such a way that it is still cool--a rarity these days to find a place were kids can be kids and learn to love God and care for one another in God's creation. Thanks so much for the awesome experience for our kids and the ongoing magic that is Camp Bethel. Thanks, Gina and Chris Engel"
