IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO COME PADDLING WITH US THIS SUMMER!  

Just be sure to call ahead to reserve a boat or just to tell us that you’re coming.  Meet at the back of the store BY the start time, otherwise you may miss us!  If you are coming with your own boat, you can meet us at the Riviera Boat Launch, in front of Flat Iron Park.!

Mondays 6pm Ladies Paddle:  Aug 11, (rescheduled), Aug 18

Wednesday 730 am Paddle:  Aug 6, 13, 20, 27

Saturday 7am Paddle:  Aug 16, 23, 30 (Aug 9, no paddle)

Sunday 8am Paddle:  Aug 10, 24, 31 (Aug 17, no paddle)

Hope to see you on the water!

Hate to break it to y’all but I just made the official decision to cancel our favorite nightly paddle.  Good news is that Erin and Jill have offered to lead a make up paddle next Monday, August 11.  They won’t be able to take you to Champs for beer and brats but they’ll do a good job leading the paddle and you all know how to get over to Champs on your own.

 Have a great week!  Sarah, Dave and I are off to Salt Lake City for the Outdoor Retailer Show but we’ll try to make it back to paddle with you next Monday.

Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but we’ve cancelled our club paddle for this Saturday.  You can join us on Sunday, Aug 3rd at 8am for a guaranteed good time, though!

Keep an eye on the blog for weekend cancellations for the rest of the summer.  We do our best to keep things predictable but life just isn’t always that way.

See you Sunday!

Thank you all for joining us for the super fun outing on Lulu Lake.  We got some seriously fun female energy together and paddled and laughed and played and paddled some more while we enjoyed the amazing scenery of Lulu Lake.  It was a perfect Sunday by my standards and I’m just grateful to have shared it with such wonderful people.  Thank you for such an enjoyable day.  We’ll do it again.  Hope you can join us:  Friday Aug 1 for everyone & Sunday Aug 17 ladies only.

Just need to share some gratitude with y’all:  Thank you Dave for being our “boat boy” and taking us on the scenic route.  We appreciate you giving us your morning and for spying from afar.  Thank you Lisa for bringing your soaker and keeping us all cooled off as the day warmed up.  It wouldn’t have been the same without the Hummer and your hilarious sense of humor.  Thank you.  Joanne summed it up best when she said she got everything she ever wanted at Lulu.  So glad that you finally got your true kayak experience!  Araceli, next time, we’ll do a better job of securing digits for you.  It’s a promise.  And Eva, we’ll give you and your bow a bit more privacy.  Thanks for that beautiful moment, though.  Jill, thank you for joining and helping us out.  Congrats Cow Girl!  It was a day of firsts for lots of us!  Marsha, I hope we got you enough sun to last you the next five days.  I think my favorite line of the day was yours about our canoeists.  Still laughing…..And Rebecca, we all thank you for letting us in on the “true” nanny diaries.  It was a pleasure to have you join us.  And I’m glad I got to give you all a compass lesson.  I’m still working through that one, but I’m grateful to have shared my first time with all of you.

Don’t forget the pinky swear.

Until next time,

Laura

Just want to clear some things up for all you interested in paddling with us in July.  Tuesday Social paddles have been postponed until August when the Water & Body session is over.  Wednesday mornings we go out at 7:30am.  Saturdays at 7:00am.  Sunday July 13 is at 7am.  Sunday July 20 is TBD.  Sunday July 27 is at 8:00am.  Monday night Ladies Paddle is at 6:00pm on July 21.

Sorry, but I will be away improving my skills on Sunday, July 6 so there will be no 8am group paddle this weekend!  Join Cory on Saturday at 7am if you would like to paddle with us over the Fourth of July weekend.  The following Sunday, July 13, Bill will be leading the clan at 7am for a Social Paddle.  We just want to keep you all guessing and checking out our Blog for current information.  Have a great fourth of July!

Our mission is to promote active lifestyles and encourage environmental kindness by getting local folks together to do the activities that we’re passionate about.  We’ve teamed up with the American Canoe Association to provide you safe, quality, weekly events throughout the summer.  All that we ask of you is that you respect the environment and the people with whom you are sharing your experience.  Oh, and that you have basic paddling skills and enjoy having fun!      Weekly Happenings: Monday:  600pm Ladies Paddle, 1^st and 3^rd Monday each month

Wednesday:  730am Social Paddle

Saturday:  700am Social Paddle (check calendar for dates)

Sunday:  800am Social Paddle (check calendar for dates)

 Boats MUST be reserved in advance.  Rentals are $10 during club activities for club members, $30 for nonmembers.

Wednesday Morning HumpDay Paddle!!!!  Come join us on the Lake for an early morning paddle at 7:30am on Wednesdays throughout the summer.  Call ahead to reserve a boat or just to let us know that you’re coming.  We’ll be out for about tow hours.  Meet at the store or down at the Riviera Boat Launch.  See you on Humpday!

June 8th at 8am join Laura and friends for a fun paddle on Geneva Lake.  This will be an official Clear Water Outdoor Adventure Club activity but anyone is invited.  We’ll practice wet exits and rescues and you’re right, I’m actually kidding but if you’re up for it, I will be, too.  The water’s warming up and summer is on the way, so please call ahead and reserve a boat if you need one!

Since Champs is still doing it, we thought we would too!

Starting Monday June 2, we’ll be resuming our Monday Night 6pm Ladies Paddle every 1st and 3rd Monday of the summer months.  Join us for $1 beers and brats at Champs afterwards or just meet at the store by 5:45pm for a 2 hour paddle on Lake Geneva.  We’ve been waiting all winter for this and we hope you can join us.  PLEASE sign up ahead of time and reserve a boat.  Mondays are a popular night to hang out on the water!

Be ready to carry boats down to the water and this summer we’ll be doing a better job of cleaning off the boats when we’re finished.  If your club membership has expired, the annual fee has stayed the same.  Rental fees for club activities are $10 an event.  Still less than you pay for a yoga class!

Really hope you can make it out this year.  We sure do have a lot of fun.  Sign up starts now!!!
