Recreation Courses
Club Sponsored Courses
The club organizes for our members with local instructors at a discounted price.
You do not need a paddling partner in order to sign up for canoe clinics, we will pair you up with another paddler based on skill level and boat balance.
If you have any questions or suggestions in regard to our paddling clinics, please don't hesitate to contact our staff or Recreation Director.
The courses will be added to RAMP as they become available.
