Boating 101
*What:* Boating 101
- This is is an opportunity to boat on a fun relatively straightforward
Class III section of the North Santiam River with other club members of
varying skills and abilities. There will be opportunities to row and
paddle in rafts, row catarafts and paddle in an IK. If you've never guided
a paddle boat this may be a great opportunity to try your hand at it.

always willing to share tips on safety, reading water, and general boating
techniques.
