Trips

Joining multi-day trips is one of the main reasons people join the kayak fleet.  Early each season we discuss trips we'd like to lead and tailor the destinations and level of difficulty to involve as many members as possible.  Trips can only go ahead if they have an organizer and leader (can be the same person). 

Trips are added to the calendar over the course of the season as members step forward to organize or lead them. All checked out members of the kayak fleet can apply to join a trip.  If interest exceeds the number of spots available we draw names at random, and may give preference to those who can help transport kayaks, or who haven't already joined a trip that year

We are always looking for more competent leaders at the club, so if you have the skills and are willing, please email kayaking@clublocarno.com

Our trip calendar is below; see the Trip Resources page for things to help leaders, organizers and participants (you need to be signed in as a member to view).

    Kayak Trip Planning Meeting

    THIS WILL BE AN IN PERSON MEETING AT JSCA. 

    This trip planning meeting for all kayak members who would like to participate in or lead club trips this season. 

    We'll start the meeting with a couple of short presentations on two of last years trips: Desolation Sound and Run Island (Isle de Lis). 

    We will look at both day and overnight destinations. We’ll also be discussing various levels of trips (catering to differing abilities of members) and club protocols for preparation and trip roll-out.

    We'll summarize what you need to do to sponsor a trip. There are two roles on a trip:

    • the trip organizer
    • on-the-water trip leader. 
    So if you want to sponsor a trip, but feel you lack the on-the-water experience, then you can include a second leader.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting back into summer tripping!

    Pizza will be served.
