The Wampanoag Paddlers are celebrating their 29th anniversary!!
The club was formed in 1970, with the first trip led in 1971, primarily for family canoeing & kayaking, therefore, most of the trips are on flatwater. The club runs 25 or more trips a year, with day trips mostly in South Eastern New England and canoe/camping trips anywhere in New England. There are two evening/supper meetings during Winter. Dues are $5.00 per family (not a typo five dollars) for the year. For $5.00 you get a free meal and someone to paddle with most weekends. How do we do this??? No one gets paid! Trip leaders and officers are all volunteers (officers are abducted from the general membership and enslaved for 2 years {grin}). Your dues cover the printing costs of the schedule, rental of the fall/winter meeting space and one dinner for your family. Our dues haven't been raised in 27 years!
The purpose of this organization shall be to maintain an association of persons interested in canoeing; to focus public attention on canoeing; to do all in its power to make canoeing a safe sport; to form a closer alliance with people and nature; to promote a greater appreciation of health and freedom; to lend support to the Clean Rivers Act where needed; and to lend legislative support to our rivers. [from the Club By-laws]
