FAQ
I want to go. Now what?
Where do I sign up?
You’re on our main site. It’s fun and user friendly, but it doesn’t handle administrative duties, like membership dues, trip registrations, and forum communications.
If you have questions about navigating registrations, feel free to reach out to any board member. Our email is below, at the bottom of every page.
Is this trip/event/workshop for me?
Be honest with yourself about your paddling and/or camping abilities. Descriptions should give you an idea of time, distance, and conditions. If you aren’t sure, email the trip leader or organizer. Contact information is listed on the registration page.
