What we’re about
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life sometimes it's hard to find the time to get away, let alone all the time to plan and organize a trip. That's what TIOA is for. We have a list of trips available and all you have to do is find the time to join us. If there is a trip you want to do, then let me know and I will figure out the logistics and post it. If you are a beginner and don't feel comfortable, or don't have the proper gear this is the perfect way to Take It Outdoors in a safe, fun and friendly way. If you aren't a beginner and are looking for a challenge; we have those trips as well.
When you come out on a trip you will find that TIOA is a fun loving community from all walks of life. Come on out and join the fun!!
See you soon!!
NOTE - A lot of planning goes into the trips we run. Please be considerate of all the members and the organizers of the group and do not be a "No Show". I know that sometimes issues spring up (family issues, medical, work, etc.) and that is completely understandable. In those cases please send a message saying you won't be able to make it. If you don't plan on attending, don't intend to mark it on your calendar or don't intend to make a best effort to come to the event please, please, please do not RSVP "yes" until you are ready.
Thank you much!!

Did you know there is more to kayaking than just paddling forward? There are a wide array of kayak strokes and techniques that help paddlers be in control of their boat. From sweeps to draws, being in control of your kayak helps you advance in your kayaking and it all starts with the fundamentals. Join us this evening as we review the basics, learn more advanced techniques and have fun paddling on the water. This class is the first step in TIO’s teaching/coaching for kayaking and leads to more advanced paddling classes like skirt clinics, moving water skills classes, self-rescue and much more.
