We are a kayak paddling club from North Carolina. We provide members with opportunities to enjoy spectacular paddling destinations and to increase skills.
The Carolina Kayak Club (CKC) is based in Raleigh with members throughout North & South Carolina and surrounding states. CKC is a non-profit organization. We are a group of people who share a love of paddlesports. CKC supports its members by offering educational events. Classes are offered on basic to advanced paddling skills. CKC sponsors an annual symposium which is a fantastic opportunity for m
embers. Our monthly meeting topics have included favorite paddling locations, guest presenters from conservation organizations, and the history of greenland boats. Volunteers in the club organize trips for members. We hold day paddles and overnight camping trips on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters. CKC trips follow the Common Adventure Model where two or more individuals work cooperatively toward common goals, sharing responsibilities as equitably as possible. There is no official leader of the trip, nor are there paid guides. Any instructions or advice provided by any member of the group is given gratuitously in the spirit of cooperation. Members of the group do not hold one another or others liable for accidents. The success or failure of a common adventure trip rests not in the hands of one member or CKC, but in the hands of everyone who participates on the trip. Membership in CKC is fee based. We have one and two year, individual or family memberships. CKC does not offer trial memberships. Dues range from $20 for a one-year individual membership to $55 for a two-year family membership. A list of benefits to joining CKC is here, Member Benefits. For more information contact membership(at)carolinakayakclub.org, or to begin your adventure with CKC today, click Member Signup.
