Description: This online meeting will introduce Boston chapter Paddling program and committee. We will show where to find trips and clinics, the process for signups, and difficulty ratings. Our trips and clinics are open to everyone, so we want people to select suitable trips based on their ability and we will show the screening process to confirm this. This process insures that trips run safely and everyone has good experience. For those new to paddling, we offer clinics to teach and practice skills on the water. Our paddling program consists of Flatwater, Sea Kayak, and Whitewater trips and we will present clinic dates for each as well as dates for trips listed so far.
