The CCA instruction committee is planning and preparing to conduct canoe classes for the 2018 paddling season. This effort will include beginner canoe classes as well as river canoeing and whitewater. We are ramping up very quickly but if you are interested in being involved with this effort, please contact Ross Dence at ross.dence@gmail.com.

Ross,

I'd love to get back into a canoe and learn to paddle whitewater!

Thanks for organizing this.  I've been watching for a CCA sponsored canoe program.  I'm interested in all the classes and definitely will sign up for the April class.  Unfortunately I think I'll be unavailable for the July class.

You can now register for 2018 canoe classes.  Go to the calendar page and search for classes that you are interested in taking.  Click on the class and then the register now radio button.  This will take you to the CKAPCO website to register for classes.

I am a new member of the club and I am going to take the courses Ross is organizing for next year. Thank you, Ross, for setting up the courses and finding the instructors. It's looking great!

Good stuff!   Took Brendan Fitz's class two years ago and it was really good ("Beginning Whitewater: Canoes").     Met Jordan Taylor while he was up at Madawaska Kanu Centre (MKC) up in Ontario, he was the head canoe instructor, maybe the head kayak instructor, too.    Brendan and Jordan are both terrific teachers!   I'll be there for the April class.   

Jordan Taylor shown below in black.  He's mean as a snake, and completely disgusted by the flunkees in the yellow canoe.
