📣 Submissions are open for the second annual Paddling Kids Story Contest! 🥳

We're on a mission to get the next generation outside and on the water. Whether it’s a first-time canoe trip or a kayak adventure they’ll never forget, we’re looking for real stories from young paddlers who made the most of summer. Paddlers ages 3-17 can submit a written story or audio recording along with their favorite photos.

Get your story in between now and September 30 for a chance to win cool prizes and a feature in our Spring 2027 issue!
