if you need more information. What to bring/wear: - Dress warmly in layers of synthetic or wool fabric. Please do not wear cotton! A waterproof shell can be good to have, especially in the rain, but you'll want something breathable like gore-tex or else you'll get awfully warm once you've been paddling awhile.
- We require all paddlers to wear a life jacket in the winter. We have a limited number of club vests available, but if you have your own please bring it.
- Neoprene boots/shoes are nice to have since your feet will probably get a little wet when you get in and out of the canoes. Other waterproof shoes work fine, and sandals with nice warm wool or synthetic socks will do the trick.
- A warm hat, or possibly something with a brim if it is raining.
- Gloves (REI and other outlets sell paddling gloves, although bike or other style gloves will suffice for newcomers).
- If you have it, bring a spare shirt or jacket in a small dry bag, just in case.
- Definitely bring some warm dry clothes (including socks) to change into after practice.
- Water or your hydration beverage of choice.
Be sure to study our ***(insert link) safety information before you come down. Plan on several sets of moderate to vigorous exercise lasting from 20-45 minutes with 5-10 minute breaks in between. Please contact us at
