The World Class Academy is a traveling high school that
specialises in kayaking. Not only do they achieve high level of academics but
their students get to travel the world and improve their kayaking as they go.
For the first time in ten years, they have returned to Nepal and it is a great honor that GRG's
has been asked to organise their logistics (food, lodging, transportation,
kayaks and support staff).
Maila has
also been welcomed as a guest kayak coach following in the footsteps of Rush
Sturges, a huge honour!
They have
also taken on one junior Nepali paddler to enrol in the school for the entire
semester. This young guy is Surjan, a paddler who shows great promise. He has
been taking their classes and paddling hard with the kids. A brilliant
opportunity for him.
The school
are half way through their season now and have already paddled the Trisuli, Upper Seti and are just about to take out of
the Karnali. Leaving them with the Marsyandi, Bhote Kosi and to compete at the
Himalayan River Fest.
