Photos of working in the Outdoor classroom while teaching Swiftwater

For the past couple of years, I have been teaching for Raven Rescue ( Rescue 3 provider for Canada) as a Swiftwater Rescue Instructor. It has been a fantastic opportunity and have been having a blast working for the company. It has been great to bring my rafting and kayaking background and spend a lot of time with people learning in the outdoor classroom.

These are a few photos from teaching courses around Vancouver Island over the past couple of years.
