Food

World Class caters to all allergies and healthy food choices. We always offer vegetarian options to meals, and can cater to vegan diets as well. It is important while training that students eat well-rounded, healthy meals. While staying at Crystal Spring, mentor groups prepare three cooked meals each day, while the rest of the group members are responsible for their own dishes. When traveling, students alternate between shopping trips, clean-up crew and cook crew when preparing meals for the group.

Lodging
A common question for a traveling school like World Class is, "where do you stay?" While away from our home base at Crystal Springs, the program looks for the most comfortable accommodations as close to quality whitewater as possible. Accommodations usually include cabins,motor parks, and hostels while out of the country. On tour in the U.S. the program will typically pitch tents at campgrounds offering hot showers, cooking facilities and sheltered common areas.

Crystal Springs
Located along the northern bank of the Clark Fork River in Montana, 30 minutes west of Missoula, Crystal Springs serves as World Class Kayak Academy's headquarters. The location allows the school immediate access to the Alberton Gorge section of the river, which hosts multiple playspots and class III rapids at every water level. Easy access to the river provides ample opportunity for kayaking before and after classes, while the proximity to Missoula makes trips to the airport, University of Montana, Brennan's Wave or shopping convenient.
