COVID-19 has affected us all.

Fortunately, kayaking is an outdoor activity and it is fairly easy to participate safely.

CKC is a Paddle America Club (PAC) which means we are affiliated with the American Canoe Association (ACA). The ACA is a nationwide, not-for-profit organization, in service to the broader paddling public by providing education on matters related to paddling, supporting stewardship of the paddling environment, and enabling programs and events to support paddlesport recreation. The ACA has published COVID-19 information in addition to their excellent brochures on paddling safety which you can find on the CKC website under Education > Education Resources.

American Whitewater is another paddling organization and they have valuable information for paddling rivers, whether they are whitewater rivers or not. American Whitewater also has COVID Guidance.
