Our 2 boys, wife and I will be there and looking forward to it. Oldest kid is bringing is youth wave 60 SOT kayak.
Scott or Michael, my son and I may take you up on sharing that campsite if none is available, since it is first come first serve. Thank you!
Excited to see familiar faces and friends will be attending. My son and I will attend as well. Thanks Dave and Carolyn. I will register us both now, I’m an ACA member with family membership.
Late to this discussion, sorry, but just wanted to echo what Kathy said: when I joined last year, my first few trips were CA trips, they had a significant impact on me, eventually I signed up as an ACA member few months ago. Also to note, I did read the Common Adventure Model explanation on the website before signing up for CA trips. The main parts that resonated with me are working as a team to achieve a common goal, and that I would be responsible for myself. I get that and understood the risk. The risk was already a heck of a lot lower than goin solo myself down a river. If it weren’t for the easy/simple approach of the CA trips and the model, I wouldn’t have attended as many trips, be more involved and developed my river paddling skills. Hoping to attend the monthly meetings in Shrewsbury next!
Also want to echo what Scott said earlier post: thank you to all the board members and trip leaders who make it all happen smoothly and easily. Without the club or without joining the club, I feel people would gravitate towards paddling solo, or with other inexperienced paddlers, which is more risky. I’m grateful we have our club to not only paddle together, but paddle well and develop skills.
Confirming this is the boat ramp meetup tmrw?

We actually want to try our big family canoe OT Camper 16, on this trip if that’s ok. we will be slow as well. 2 adults and 2 kids will sign up if all things check out.
Night paddle does sound like fun and definitely want to try it some other time in the future. Thanks Eileen for setting it up.
