About Us
The Canoe Club of Centre County is a Paddle America Club of the American Canoe Association. The club serves as a networking tool for new and experienced paddlers alike. Its first purpose is to organize day trips on local streams and lakes, with the hope of giving all paddlers the means to network with each other, experienced paddlers a chance to explore the waterways with others, and newcomers and new paddlers a way to learn about local streams. We also offer informal training (canoe techniques, kayak rolling, etc.), over-night trips, and special outings (night paddles, bird-watching paddles, etc.). The club consists of paddlers of all ages and skill levels. We are a non-profit (501(c)(7)) organization.
