Group of kayakers on the Chatooge River, SC

Need something custom? 

Most instruction follows a syllabus. We follow the student. At Level Up, our entire philosophy is built on rejecting the ‘cookie-cutter’ approach, because your goals on the water are as unique as the river itself.

While our 1-on-1 coaching, small group coaching, and swiftwater rescue courses cover the essentials, we know that many needs fall outside a standard booking. Whether you are managing a large-scale university group, looking to bridge the gap between the pool and the rapids, or mastering a specific craft, we provide the technical expertise and logistics to make it happen. If you don’t see the exact lesson you’re looking for on our site, this is where we build it for you.

  • University & School Groups: Professional, high-standard safety and skill clinics for outdoor programs, college clubs, and staff training. We handle the logistics and provide top-tier instruction that meets institutional needs.

  • Pool-to-River Progressions: Start where it’s calm. We can begin your instruction in a pool to develop a bulletproof roll and foundational confidence before transitioning those exact skills to the current of the Chattooga.

  • Open Boat & Canoe Instruction: Technical whitewater isn’t just for kayakers. We offer specialized coaching for open boaters looking to sharpen their lines, maneuvers, and river reading.

  • Multi-Day Progressions & Club Clinics: Bring your paddling crew for a custom-tailored weekend. We can design a multi-day itinerary that focuses on the specific rivers and rescue scenarios your group encounters most.
