Putting on a paddle event takes a lot of time and effort. Especially when itโs on the water.
Weโre looking forward to a fall event! Bonus - it wonโt be as hot!

๐ PaddleSplash Update ๐
If you've been wondering why you haven't seen a PaddleSplash announcement yet, you're not alone!
After 12 incredible years as a summer event, we're working with California State Parks on a new timeline for PaddleSplash. As visitation at Lake Natoma has continued to grow, larger multi-day events are no longer being scheduled during the peak summer months.
The good news? PaddleSplash is absolutely happening.
We're currently exploring a Fall event and are excited about the opportunities that come with a new season on the water. While we don't have dates to share just yet, a lot of planning is happening behind the scenes, and we're working through the approval process with State Parks.
This next chapter of PaddleSplash may look a little different, but our mission remains the same: bringing together paddlers of all ages and abilities to celebrate community, water safety, wellness, and our shared love of being on the water.
We'll share more details as soon as we can. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and continued support. If you wish to donate to support our summer outreach programs, you can do that at our new donation site: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-change-lives-13090
The best is yet to come. ๐
See you on the water,
