About us
The Paddlers Committee of the Boston Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) includes both whitewater and sea kayak activities. Our goal is to operate a safe and well-organized program of paddling within the New England area. We run a variety of activities including: clinics, introductory instructional trips, easy day trips, intermediate day trips, and overnight trips, led by volunteer members. If you are interested in a particular trip, contact the trip's leader or co-leader per the trip listing; he or she will have some questions about your paddling background and can advise you on the appropriateness of the trip for your level of experience and skill.

Instructional Series: Boston Whitewater Kayak Pool Rolling 2026
Lowell YMCA, 35 YMCA Drive, Lowell, MA, US$150 for ALL 5 session if an AMC member. You must register for this event on the AMC outdoor connector website. RSVPs mean nothing.
Ready to learn to roll your whitewater kayak? Or want to tune up a rusty roll, or help teach others? Join us in the pool this winter! In five Sunday evening sessions we'll get you well on your way to rolling with confidence and skill. You'll be paired with a volunteer instructor for the first hour, and then get to practice what you've learned for the second hour each week. There may also be limited space for practice only, for those who don't want instruction. All five Sundays are included in one signup. Beginners are welcome but you must be able to swim and hold your breath with your head under water. Due to space limitations, only whitewater kayaks and OCs are allowed. Gear rentals will be available for the full session; those who rent gear will be responsible for its transportation and storage for the 5 weeks. Go to the AMC outdoor connector activity listing for details on cost.
