Canoeing-Kayaking
A wide variety of canoe, kayak and raft trips for various skill levels are scheduled year-around. Registration with leaders is required for ALL trips to determine skill levels and equipment needs. If you do not have a boat, let the leader know. Space in a boat, an extra paddle and a life jacket may
be available. Early spring trips teach basic strokes/safety and refresh skills. If you have suggestions for additional trips contact PADDLE CHAIR Jan Thompson. Trip details are in the monthly Chemeketan Bulletin. A life jacket with whistle attached MUST be worn on all trips. A 15' boat tie-up rope is REQUIRED.

If you are interested in being notified of WINTER CANOE-KAYAK TRIPS, send your name, phone number and email address to kayaker Eric Hunter at: em.hunter@msn.com
