What participants are saying:
"Great Experience! The equipment I used from you was in great condition. Very professional and flexible to our teams needs" ---Team Quixote
"If you’re looking for a solid ropes instruction for AR, you should check out Pura Vida Adventures in Brevard, NC, owned by adventure racer, commercial guide and college instructor Joe Moerschbaecher. Joe recently conducted a weekend AR training camp that concentrated on Ropes Skills and Whitewater Safety .
The beauty of this camp is that Joe gears all of his instruction and advice around situations you would encounter in adventure racing. Thus for each discipline, he “shows-n-tells” a multitude of gear choices but zeroes in on selections that are strong, durable, tried-and-true, but, when feasible, as lightweight and packable as possible, to lessen the burden of hauling it around during a race. Or, he might suggest gear selections that will be easier to manipulate when your motor skills are suffering due to sleep deprivation, cold, etc.
Joe is a confident, organized and very experienced instructor with an AR background. The price was EXTREMELY affordable for the level and depth of personalized, hands-on instruction we got. e will tailor the instruction to exactly the types of things you’re seeking to learn." ---Tracey Lewis, avid adventure racer, member of trailblazers Charlotte Chapter
"I have to tell you that attending your camp was one of the best things I've done. Everyday was a new and rewarding experience. There is certainly something to be said of the benefits of stepping out of one's comfort zone. With your knowledge and experience, having you there right by my side was invaluable. Ending the camp with a mock race was incredibly instructive. I appreciate the effort you put into your teaching. I've signed up for my first adventure race on April 24th which is a 6 hour event. Following that I've signed up for a 12 hour event on May 29-30th which includes navigating and rope skills." --Fred Lau March 2010 Camp participant
