The Philadelphia Canoe Club was established in 1905. We are an active paddling and social community encompassing canoeing, kayaking, and standup paddle boarding. Covering both flat water and white water with American Canoe Association Certified Instructors.
We would love to help get you on the river, lake or even in the pool!
If you have ever thought about expanding upon your outdoor water education, or just improve your skills, then taking one of our classes is the place to get involved!
PRE-SEASON PADDLING CLINIC (indoors only)
April 23, 2025 (Wednesday, 6-8 pm)
I LOVE TO BE OUT ON THE WATER -- BUT HOW CAN I GET STARTED?
Instructors: Laura Lipkin and Linda Galyon
Do you love to be out on the water and want to try a paddle-sport but do not where to start? This class offers an overview of information on canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards on flat, moving, and whitewater.
This class does not replace the need for on-water skills instruction but will help decide what paddle-sport(s) you want to focus on and prepare you to get to the water. Our instructors will also help you identify the PCC Training Classes you might want to enroll in to build your paddling skills this summer.
Bring all your paddle-sport questions. This will be an informal and fun evening.
PLEASE NOTE ! Attending our [free] Annual Instruction Fair on May 4th will give you the opportunity to speak with our American Canoe Association Instructors about the classes. We also provide a discount for registering at the event.
Thank you Boris Striepen for putting this together!!
