As of October 16, 2009 spring semester enrollment was at eleven of the fourteen spaces. And there are two to three students still considering applying. Most recently Zoe Ross of Athens, TN applied and will be joining New River Academy this quarter in Chile. Welcome Zoe.

Yes there is space for you to apply for both kayak gap year abroad and the high school semester.

Who can apply? Most students arrive to New River Academy after completing a kids or teen kayak summer camp. Great kayak camps teach students the safety and river running skills that allow you to progress with New River Academy. If you can run class III then you are ready for a New River Academy semester.

“Tell me more about kayaking Chile rivers.” Kayaking in Chile is remarkable. The Andes Mountains are gorgeous, the culture is friendly and inviting, and the rivers are clear and safe. We seek the safe class III-IV runs offering a combination of play boating and exciting river run skills.

Enrollment Tip- It is recommended to submit the Phase I Application early. Sending the Phase I Application does not commit you financially. Rather, it allows administration to research your references with the goal of issuing your “Acceptance Letter.” Once you receive your “Acceptance Letter” you will have the option to officially enroll.
