People will enjoy it because it\u2019s a fun thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rock climbing, like all of the outdoors courses, is a hands-on learning experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to study rock climbing out of a book, we\u2019re going to climb,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>UTC students who take the whitewater raft-guiding course will be training in the same manner and at the same place as summer raft guides at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raft1.com\/\">RaftOne <\/a>in Ducktown, Tennessee, near the iconic Ocoee River in the Cherokee National Forest.<\/p>\n<p>The 1996 Olympic summer games put the river on the map, so to speak, when the Ocoee Whitewater Center was built to host the world\u2019s first Olympic canoe and kayak slalom events on a natural river. Marrying the natural and artificial worlds, boulders and artificial rocks were placed in a quarter-mile section of the river to create a challenging and internationally acclaimed whitewater course.<\/p>\n<p>The upper part of the riverbed was narrowed from 200 feet to 70 feet in width. The constricted channel causes the water to increase in speed and power.<\/p>\n<p>RaftOne owner and manager Brent Rogers, a long-time tour provider, will teach students how to navigate a commercial raft through whitewater up to Class IV whitewater; Class VI is the highest and most dangerous. All equipment is provided by RaftOne, and all but the first class will be taught at the Ocoee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey literally dive right in,\u201d said Associate Professor Andrew Bailey, who coordinates all the outdoor classes and the University\u2019s Sport, Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Management program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re interested in doing any of these outdoor things on your own, this is the perfect introduction. It will provide you with way more than you would get in a one-day trip in terms of actually learning skills,\u201d said Bailey, who\u2019s also teaching the kayaking class.<\/p>\n<p>His course will introduce participants to the basics of whitewater kayaking, including basic paddle techniques, self-rescue, wet exits and rolls, as well as reading rapids and navigating Class II-III whitewater. Sessions will be conducted in the Aquatic and Recreation Center pool until the skills have been acquired to safely navigate whitewater. The class will culminate with a full-day trip down the Hiawassee River in Reliance, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>All one-credit outdoor classes are all geared for beginners, Bailey said. The pause in outdoor course offerings during the pandemic allowed him to tweak the program and bring in more community experts to teach the classes rather than traditional adjunct faculty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really wanted the students to learn from the best experts in the field and we also know they\u2019re going to be here in a few years,\u201d Bailey said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just good for our students but also for deepening the University\u2019s community partnerships.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, these classes epitomize Chattanooga, and, Bailey said, when in Rome &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile you\u2019re here, go for it. You\u2019re not going to be pushed beyond your level, but you will be challenged.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outdoor courses include rock climbing, whitewater rafting and kayaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/01\/activity-courses-move-the-classroom-from-inside-to-out\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1822,"featured_media":39873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,122313,64],"tags":[119166,119168,119165,119167],"class_list":{"0":"post-39861","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-experiential-learning","9":"category-news","10":"tag-kayaking","11":"tag-rock-climbing","12":"tag-synergy-climing-and-ninja","13":"tag-whitewater-rafting","14":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
