Womens whitewater training camp
16. – 18. August 2024
Voss Elveklubb is repeating the success of Womens whitewater training camp and the dates are out! This year it will be 3 full days of girls kayaking together with superstar @Marlene Devillez and a team of female coaches! We will have loads of fun and laughs and of course an intensive improvement of our kayaking skills – doing sessions on both technique and safety – learning from the best on various sections of the world class river ♥ Raundalselva ♥ and other classics around the whitewater mecca Voss!

Are you not sure if you are good enough?
Well Marlene says as long as you can roll in flat water and paddle class 2 whitewater you are good to go! There will also be plenty challenges for the more experienced women as we will divide into the levels we are comfortable with. Everyone will for sure push some limits together in a safe and fun way.
Practical info
If you travel from far away we recommend arriving the day before so we can get you sorted out in time, and leave the day after. (We start 10am on day 1 and finish 4pm day 3).
It will be a cost to cover the coaching-time, and there is limited spots. The price includes a bbq Saturday evening. Not included in the price are accommodation, lunch or kayak rental.
If you wish to rent a kayak the club can provide you with one for NOK 300 for the event. We have a range of models and sizes: Wavesport Diesel, Pyranha Burn and Zet Veloc.
If you fly into Norway here are some useful tips. Book a flight to Bergen Flesland Airport. Take the light rail from the Airport to Bergen’s main train station. From the Bergen main train station take the train to Voss: https://www.vy.no/en

Support Women’s Training Camp
We need sponsors!
Currently, the training camp is carried by the participants. To lower the barrier to entering the training camp we need help from sponsors. With sponsor support, we can have more women join on more levels of ability, we can provide more paid world-class female instructors and make the overall experience better. Please get in touch with styret@vosselveklubb.no to learn more about what we can do for your brand in return.
