SUGGESTED DONTATION 

To help with the cost of maintaining the canoes, equipment, and trailers, we have a suggested donation of $15 per canoe used (there are 6 canoes on each trailer and if only 3 are used, that is all that needs to be paid for) and $15 for each trailer used for the outing. We can take PayPal. 

Our PayPal account name is:

Equipment

PADDLES 

There are currently 32 paddles of different lengths available for use. They are stored in the racks by length. Each paddle has colored tape just below the handle to specify the length.

Quantity Length Inches Tape Color
4 X-Long 60" 2 x Red
13 Long 56" Red
13 Medium 53" Yellow
2 Short 51" Blue 

The top rack is for long paddles, the middle rack is for medium length paddles, and the bottom rack is for the short and extra-long paddles. When returning the paddles please make sure to put them in the correct racks. The racks are marked with the same color codes as the paddles. 

LIFE VESTS 

We have the following sizes and quantities: 

Qty. Size Color Description
3 Small Orange Fits youth under 9 years old
22 Universal Red Fits most youth over 9 and most adults
2 Oversize Blue Fits people over 250 lbs. 

We also have several orange horse collar pfd's that are available for use with younger scouts and for those that prefer a horse collar vest over a life jacket. 10 red life vests, along wih the orange and blue ones are hanging up. 12 of the red ones are in bins on the floor of the trailer. If you are only using one trailer, you can take the 2 bins with life vests with you to Make it easier to transport them. 

OTHER EQUIPMENT 

We have 3 rescue throw bags, a couple of large waterproof bags, and a couple of tarps that can be used to put the life jackets on when they are wet to keep them off of the ground and clean. There are also foam pads that can be used for kneeling on when doing whitewater canoeing. Most of these items are in bins in the storage trailer.
