We want all of our trips and events to be safe and fun for everyone and to help support this goal, please familiarize yourself with the following:

General

·       Trip coordinators are not professional guides; they are volunteering their time.  Be nice to them.

·       Consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs is not permitted while boating during club events.

·       Know the driving time to the intended meeting location and be on time.

·       Be helpful, offer to help with the shuttle and be courteous to the shuttle drivers.

 

Registering and Cancelling
·       Be honest about your skills and fitness and ensure they are appropriate for the event before registering.  If uncertain, ask the trip coordinator.
·       Sign up for events on the Events Calendar at least 2 days prior to the event.  Some events may require registration further in advance. 

·       If you are paddling tandem, you must sign up both yourself and your partner.

·       If you can't register online, register by calling or emailing the coordinator.

·       If you need to cancel, let the coordinator know as far in advance as possible.

 

Equipment

·       PFDs are required while on the water.

·       Helmets are recommended for all river trips and required for rivers over Class II.
·       Floatation is required for all river trips over Class II. 

·       Drysuits are recommended for much of the year. 

·       Equipment must be in good condition and suitable for the type of event (if you’re not sure, ask the coordinator).
·       Bring enough clothing, water, food to keep you going and comfortable. A drybag with extra clothing is a good idea in case of a swim.

·       It is recommended that you bring a throw rope and know how to use it.
