Canoe safety is very important to the OSSCC which is why we insist every member take basic canoe training to assess skill levels and ensure members don’t go on excursions beyond their skillset and comfort zone.
That said, our canoe schedule has trips that accommodate everyone’s ability from our gentle “Easy Breezy” paddles on area lakes and rivers, to our more challenging trips on moving water. You can check our schedule on either the blog or on the web site to check out which trips you wish to go on. Mark your calendars and watch your emails if the weather looks dicey on trip day!
Whichever trip you go on, it is important to be aware of both whistle and visual safety signals.
Be safe and have fun! Check out these posts before going out on the water:

Remember not to schedule anything else on the same day as our canoe trips as we can’t guarantee when we will be back!
