!!!!Mark your calendars for the weekend June 2 & 3, 2012 for this year’s 2012 SLIP CLINIC!!!!
(Forms at the bottom)
The Slip Clinic is a great opportunity for beginners, practiced beginners, intermediates and youth to improve their paddling skills and techniques. It is also a great opportunity for more experienced paddlers to get involved. We are asking every experienced boater to help by instructing, assisting, safety boating or just coming out for dinner and fun on Saturday night, June 2! EVERYONE can be involved!
The clinic’s philosophy is to teach paddlers on water where they feel totally comfortable, with progression to more difficult skills and water after mastery of basic skills has been demonstrated.
Ralph Minto is coordinating the Adult Clinic this year, he can be contacted at rminto@mintolaw.com. All students, instructors and assistants must be members of the Three Rivers Paddling Club to participate.
Clinics
Adult Clinic:
The adult clinic is offered to all adult members of TRPC and nonmembers of the TRPC who submit their dues and application with the 2012 SLIP CLINIC forms.
Youth Clinic:
The Youth clinic will be offered for children of TRPC member families who are at least six years old. It runs concurrently with the adult clinic. Children 16 years old or older may participate in the adult 2012 SLIP CLINIC clinic.
Instructors and Assistants
Instructors and assistant instructors are needed! Remember the way you felt when someone taught you to paddle? Remember the way they cheered as you did your first wobbly eddy turn and smiled when you swam the last two rapids? Even if you haven’t taught before, you can help! We can put you with an experienced instructor. We also encourage you to participate as instructors prior to the event. All instructors must be 18 or over. You can even request a level to teach.
Saturday Dinner
This year, we are planning a Saturday evening dinner beginning around 6:00p.m. at Breakneck Campground, which is located across the road from Betsy’s Barn. Accommodations can be made to have Vegetarian Lasagna on an as requested basis. Dinner was great last year and we expect the same this year. There will be a charge of $15 per adult and $10 per child (ages 8 & under) if you want to join us. Alcoholic beverages will not be available, but BYOB. Everyone is invited to come out for dinner, even if you’re not attending the 2012 SLIP CLINIC.

Breakfast
Once again, the Cheesemans will be providing breakfast both Saturday and Sunday morning at the campground lodge. Cost will be $7 (pay at door). This has been a big hit since it began; you will get plenty to eat. It cannot get any more convenient than this!
Camping
Camping this year will again be at Breakneck Campground located on Cheeseman Road. The cost for camping is $7 per person for the grassy or gravel sites, payable upon arrival. The 10X10 wooden decks are $15 per night, the 3-sided hut is $25 and the “deluxe” cabin with electricity is $60 per night.
Registration Form
The deadline for form submission will be May 22nd.All forms are arranged in kits, so that each participant in clinic needs to download and completely fill out one multipage pdf file. For example the first person in a family would use either a TRPC member student registration if they will be student and are a member of TRPC or the non-member student registration if they are not a current TRPC member. The next member of the family would need an additional instructor kit if they want to be an instructor, and their child needs an additional youth clinic kit. Several of the forms can be filled in on the computer prior to printing. After printing fill in the pages which must be done manually and send the completed forms and payments in. Payment and mailing instructions are on the registration form.
