Who It Is For
You do not need a boat to belong here.
Members include first-time paddlers, lifelong sailors, parents signing up a teenager for their first safety course, and retired captains who now teach them. Some members join to take courses at a reduced rate. Others join because they want the clean-up crews to keep running.
Membership is open to individuals, families, and partner organizations. There is no experience requirement and no test to pass.
Member Benefits
