Safety for all our members is of the upmost importance to us as a club which is why beginner canoe training is mandatory for all new members. This is so skill levels can be assessed and our trip leaders and any potential canoe partners can be assured you have the required abilities to handle the types of trips you want to participate in.
Our Trip Schedule can be found here. It has lots of canoe trips for a variety of skill levels planned this season that you won’t want to miss!
