Top 10 Benefits to Membership:
- The opportunity to participate in up to 12 guided kayak excursions on the Hudson each week, including weekday morning paddles, after-work evening paddles and morning and afternoon weekend paddles. All of these paddles are led by experienced trip leaders and assistants trained in kayak rescues. You'll feel safe on the water.
- The use of boats, paddles and life jackets. We have over 40 different boats to try! There's no need to run out and buy a boat.
- Beginner paddles that go slower and not as far as you get use to kayaking.
- Weekly skills sessions that help you develop your skills and know that you are safe on the Hudson.
- Themed paddles including Full Moon Paddles, History Paddles, and Racing/Fitness Training.
- Weekly potlucks and social events at YPRC's historic boathouse on the River.
- There are many opportunities to meet likeminded individuals who enjoy the water and are environmental stewards, and to volunteer and give back during community events and public paddles.
- The use of YPRC's cabin at the American Canoe Association Camp on Lake Sebago in Harriman State Park. Come for the day and kayak in a protected lake, stay overnight in the YPRC cabin. Hike the park and gret away from the city hustle and bustle. You must join the ACA ($40 yearly ) to use the lake
