Tirol Camp 1

Beim Tirol Camp 1 zeigen wir euch unser Heimatrevier. Die Flüsse rund um Innsbruck sind großartig, um an der eigenen Kajaktechnik zu feilen oder auch mal seine Grenzen auszuloten. Unsere Basis ist der Campingplatz direkt am Natterer See, von hier aus können wir im Umkreis von einer Stunde viele Flüsse mit sehr verschiedenem Charakter erreichen. An den Abenden wird entweder gemütlich gemeinsam gekocht, oder auch in Innsbruck Essen gegangen – ganz wie wir Lust haben!

Bei diesem Camp bieten wir einen F1-, F2- und Creek 1 Kurs an. Bitte klicke unten auf einen der Kurse, um weitere Details über die jeweiligen Inhalte und die Voraussetzungen zu erfahren.

Learn to move independently and safely on WW II!

Im Kajakkurs Fortgeschritten 1 gewinnst du Sicherheit auf Wildwasser II. Ziel ist es, dass du am Ende des Kurses mit deinen Freund:innen, auch ohne „bessere Fahrer:innen“, auf Wildwasser II Abschnitten unterwegs sein kannst. Die Technik, die du hier lernst, wirst du später natürlich auch im schweren Wildwasser weiter verwenden.

Consolidate and deepen the basic techniques
Can independently navigate class II whitewater

Intensive WW course including rolling training!

Do you feel comfortable on class II whitewater and would finally like to enter more difficult waters? Or are you already often out on class III whitewater , but would like to be a bit more confident? Then this is the course for you. We'll show you how much fun more gradients and more water pressure can be if you simply rely on the current and your technique.
In this course, we focus on using the current, estimating lines and navigating tactics in a group, as well as on good technique. The aim of the course is to develop routine in class III whitewater .

The course for clean lines on WW IV!

Ride your line with ease and a dry spraydeck! On class IV whitewater you can only hit your line if you work with the flow. That's why on the Creek 1 Course we look closely at the current and use it. We analyze the currents and define exactly which weight shift and which pull on the paddle are necessary to precisely ride your chosen line. At the same time, you will learn how to boat and control steps and rollers.
