If the calendar looks a little sparse? Don't despair!
Trips are generally posted with a week or two of notice
Our Peak Season is late May to late October
Trip Coordinators have a lot to consider prior to posting including the tides and up-to-the-minute weather forecast, winds and currents. So, the calendar ahead may look empty now, but it will fill in weekly. Don’t forget to turn your preferred notifications ON within Meetup to get notified the instant trips are posted. And please be considerate, RSVP ONLY if you are sure you can attend, as others might be blocked from joining the trip if you change your mind. More about Trip Signups in our Meetup User’s Guide.
For those considering joining as a new member, and wish to have a better idea for the type of trips we run and the locations, cycle back to last summer on the calendar above. Just know that the details listed here for each trip are much shorter than what is provided to members on Meetup.
All Club Trips & Monthly Meetings are now posted & managed on Meetup!
Admittance to the Meetup Group requires being a current Paid Member.
Below is a sampling of what trips look like on Meetup.
Trip leaders are an essential part of our Club! New Trip Leaders are provided with training that includes route planning, on-the-water communication, risk mitigation and rescue skills. On- and off-the-water gatherings encourage continued learning and peer support throughout the year. Learn more about what’s involved in becoming a Trip Leader and contact us to sign up for the next training group!
Paddling is a lot of fun, but Club Guidelines and Rules must be followed to ensure everyone's safety.
First, read about TRIP LEVELS to make sure you are capable of completing the paddle trip as planned. Second, read PADDLING GUIDELINES so that you know what equipment is necessary for a safe and successful paddle. If you wish to bring a non-member as a guest, please contact the trip leader directly before the trip. All trips are subject to weather conditions. Trip leaders will notify all attendees of any changes reflecting the trip via email.
