Trips

PCC Goes On Trips!  

The Philadelphia Canoe Club takes trips all over - locally, the US, Canada, and points further abroad..All trips are open to anyone, as long as they can paddle safely with us!

If you want to come along with us, feel free to find a trip you are interested in, and contact the person in charge of the event. In some cases, you can even sign up for the trip online. If you have questions about what you need for a specific trip, see the trip description, and consider contacting the listed contact for the event.

For whitewater trips: Click here, or check the Trips menu.

Whitewater canoeing and kayaking requires training, and some specialized safety gear. To come along on one of our whitewater trips, you will need to have taken some previous training, either from one of our courses, or elsewhere. Skill level may also be a factor, as more difficult sections may require more training or experience. If you want to join us, and are just starting out, contact us about some training. If you have experience, and think you'd like to join a trip, contact the leader of that trip, to make sure the trip is a good fit for your skill level. 

For Flat / moving water trips: Click here or check the Trips menu.

Saturday/Sunday short paddles meet at 9:30 a.m. and return by noon. Non-members are welcome and equipment is available for rental. Check the list for dates, and—as for all trips—contact  the leader in advance. To join us..
