2013 White Water Schedule

Hey Paddlers! We're excited about our 2013 paddling season!

RSVP to WhiteWater coordinator if you have a trip to add to this schedule!

Here's an overview of our plans for the 2013 summer to give you an idea of our activities.
Since our outings depend on changing water levels, the confirmed trips and outings will be posted on the calendar - with MORE info (trip leader, destination etc) and last minute trips are posted on the Forum on this website.
The Calendar details and the Forum:  are available to RACCC members when they login.

Our WW Paddlers are encouraged to join the Forum on this website! (Login and sign up for the Forum!)
Email announcements of last minute trips go out to those who are 'in' the Forum per the topic: Last Minute Whitewater Trips
