Guest policies
Members are encouraged to bring guests to the club
and introduce them to paddling. Guests are allowed to join
members in a canoe at any time. However, if you would like to
introduce kayaking to your guests we would like to give your
guest an orientation session and go over the basics. Please do
not use a spray skirt if you have no previous experience, in
particular, with wet exits.
Your guest will not be charged if he is sharing a canoe
with you. Guest fees are charged for additional boats (canoes
and kayaks). Guest fees: Full day, $10. Half day, $5.
Please note: Canoes may be rented only when the
guest is accompanied by a member.
