Interested in Trip Leading?

Are you interested in becoming a future Paddle Junkies Trip Leader - helping beginner paddlers get out on the water in a safe environment, sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm, and of course, getting in more paddling?

If you are, please email me at: finance@paddlejunkies.com or post here.

We are organizing a river evening for potential new trip leaders. This evening does NOT commit you to becoming a trip leader, and it is not a certification/assesment for trip leading. You'll be able to find out what is involved in becoming a trip leader, ask questions, and get feedback on your paddling skills.

Ideally, this event will run on Thursday evening of this week, so please indicate availability in your email/post.

Thanks, Karen

Paddle Junkies Appreication Evenings

Hello Paddle Junkies!

As you probably already know, Simon Coward is a big supporter of Paddle Junkies. To show his support for the club, he is providing several "Paddle Junkies appreciation" evening sessions on the Kananaskis river. These small group instructional sessions are intended to show appreciation for people who contribute to the club in a positie way, through volunteer efforts or other involvement (example: making new members feel welcome, providing help on club runs etc.).

We will have several sessions throughout the summer. Current and past Paddle Junkies executive and trip leaders will be attending the first few. After those sessions, the season will be well underway, and we hope to have lots of awesome Paddle Junkies members to send.

If you would like to nominate an outstanding Paddle Junkie for these sessions, please email me at finance@paddlejunkies.com . Remember, you can't sign up for these events on the calendar - you have to be nominated, and I will send out the invites prior to the event.

Paddle Junkie appreciation evening dates (tentative):
May 21 - Executive
May 28 - Executive
June 11 - Trip Leaders
June 18 - Awesome Paddle Junkie members and volunteers
July 13 - Awesome Paddle Junkie members and volunteers
July 14- Awesome Paddle Junkie members and volunteers
August 8th (Full Day)- Awesome Paddle Junkie members and volunteers
