The Boating Betties program is an evolving instructional / mentoring program for women by women.  Our intention is to empower each other and encourage the women of Colorado Whitewater to build confidence, master skills, and create strong friendships, both on and off the water. Last season we experimented with the format of the program, and this year we’re expanding it to include paid instruction as well as free events. This is a Colorado Whitewater program and you must be a female CW member aged 18 or older to participate in Betty activities.

This class is intended for women who have been boating for some time but never had formal instruction, or who want a “tune up” before the season begins.  The course is designed to empower and encourage the women of Colorado Whitewater to build confidence, master skills, and create strong friendships, both on and off the water. We cover skills and drills related to boat control and recovery, as well as tips and tricks for overcoming fear. You must be a female CW member aged 18 or older to participate in Betty activities.
