Class III Safety & Rescue Course Reviews
Motivating
★★★★★
“
When we adventure we often cross into a line where we don't know what we don't know. Rafting is no different. This course really helped me put into perspective my current ability and feel motivated to get out on the rivers and learn more.”

“
I could not have asked for a better experience and introduction to Class III safety rescue than what our group was treated to on the Upper Clackamas. Instructors were fun, knowledgeable, good people, and most importantly they kept us safe. If you ever have an opportunity to do anything with NWRC, DO IT!!!! Zach has built an incredible company full of people you want to be around, and who are eager to share their love of boating and boating safely. Many thanks!!!!”

Impressed
★★★★★
“
I was really impressed with every instructor's ability to cater the course to each participant's needs while offering a range of applied learning styles. 14/10 instructors that genuinely made learning fun and valuable, and it was nice to see the ways they worked together as a team as well. This was one of the most engaging, welcoming, and valuable classes I've taken. I left feeling more empowered and excited about future river days after my first NWRC course, and would encourage anyone who is whitewater-curious to explore their offerings.”

I really enjoyed how personable, knowledgable and approachable all of the instructors were. It was a safe learning environment without any ego. I got so much useful information from the course that I will be able to use with my friends and family. It also got me stoked for rafting season! Thanks for the great class 🙂”

Would Recommend
★★★★★
“
I took the course as a frequent raft passenger (versus rower/raft owner) and all the material was applicable. I feel more confident going on the water, and am excited to contribute new safety/rescue skills and gear tips to the group. Instructors were super knowledgeable and kept it fun. Would recommend!”

Super Valuable
★★★★★
“
So glad you’ve added the Class III Safety Course! This was just the right course for my skill level. I learned new skills in the classroom that I’ll be able to apply to planning and decision-making on my personal trips. And swimming and boating the Hood River (my home river!) for the first time was a challenge I felt supported to meet. Thank you Northwest Rafting, this course was super valuable!”
