The second level focused mainly in the foundamental strokes for white-water and on the river descent approach. There was also the chance to work on the eskimo-roll in the beautiful campsite lake.

The III level worked on the basic moves and the trajectories for class III. Through repeated exercises they refined many aspects that allow paddlers to define a precise trajectory in a river.
