Our Weekly Paddling Group, or Paddling Piracies, offer a social paddling environment to meet others on the water, learn new skills, and practice all your skills all season long. The Piracies meet at predictable times and places so that it is easy to plan you week around your paddling time. Weekend paddles Club volunteers organize and hold paddling events on weekends and sometimes even during the week. These events are styled for every type of paddler from relazing quiet waters to long open water crossings. Always check the Club Calendar of Events for great trips to join. Kayak camping trips
Club volunteers design and hold multi-day kayaking camping trips. Some of these trips will offer camping in a State Park while exploring a new area by kayak. Some trips will offer camping in a back-country campsite, accessable only by a kayak. Always check the Club Calendar of Events for these great camping trips to join. Instruction and Workshops

swims Every year the Club supports swim events in our area. Our kayaks are often the only water craft allowed to be in the swim lanes. We offer the first line of support to swimmers and are warmly welcomed for this volunteer support effort. Lead trips
The Club could not be what it is without great volunteers like our Trip Leaders. They come up with wonderful ideas for padling events, plan, organize, and make it happen. Please consider helping out many of these Leaders and consider becoming a Trip Leader yourself. Indoor pool sessions
During the colder months of winter when paddling outside is difficult, the Club arranges to use a community swimming pool so that we all can continue to enjoy time on the water practing our paddling skills. Stolen boat reports
If you are aware of a canoe or kayak which has been stolen, provide the Club with all available details so that we can make it public and help to return the craft to its righful owner. Environmental Stewardship Individuals of the Club are always trying to bring Environmental Awareness to the eyes and ears of others. Join the Club in communicating our stewardship of the environment to everyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors.
