What we’re about
For those who enjoy flat water paddling and calm scenic rivers. (Okay, occasionally a few class I & II ripples.)
• An identifying photo of yourself is required so we'll recognize you when we meet! (As this is a private group, only other members will be able to see it.)
• Your profile 'name' should be what you'd like us to call you. First name and last name or initial is preferred.
• You must have your own boat (kayak, canoe, paddle board) or access to one before becoming a member of this group.
Current dues: $15 per year for unlimited events or $5 per event. (Unfortunately, Meetup has just increased their fee by over 80% along with taking away a member's ability to see other event attendees. )
All dues collected are used to cover organizer's subscription fees. You can pay with cash, Venmo (@Dorothy-Wells-16), or PayPal (dwells21b@aol.com or 413-695-9731).
Our event organizers plan and post events so kayakers can meet in the same place at the same time to paddle together. The event hosts will welcome you and introduce you to the others.
We're not instructors, so it's up to you to know your kayaking skills and have proper equipment. Some of our river trips will require some white water experience and you should know how to self-rescue. If you do fall out of your boat, you’ll need to get yourself to shore and get back in your boat. We'll wait—and help, if we can. 😎
