River Safety Course (Outdoor Training Waikato)

River Crossing Course - Thursday 11th December and 13th December 2025
 
 
DO YOU NEED TO CROSS THAT RIVER?  Tramping where there are river crossings?
This one-day course is designed for hikers, Te Araroa Trail walkers, teachers and leaders working in outdoor settings – in fact, anyone who will be tramping and doing activities near water. Rivers are one of the greatest hazards in the New Zealand outdoors so learn how to read a river (basic hydrology), when not to cross and where to cross and how to safely cross (solo and in groups).  You do not need to be a confident swimmer to do this course.
There will be a short weekday evening on-line meeting in preparation for the practical in the weekend.
Online safety briefing: Thurs 11 Dec, 7-8pm (link will be sent)
Practical:  Sat 13th Dec, 9am - approx. 1.30pm,   Kaueranga Valley, near Thames,
