Children (under 18) are usually welcome on our paddling trips, but a parent or legal guardian must sign the AMC’s Assumption of Risk. Another adult (aunt, sibling, family friend, etc.) may NOT sign the waiver on behalf of the parent. In general, we expect the parent or legal guardian to accompany the child on the trip. At the trip leader’s discretion, the parent/guardian may designate another responsible adult to accompany the child. In this case, the parent or guardian must sign the waiver and give it to the adult who will accompany the child, to be given to the trip leader. If the minor child is old enough to write, the child must also sign the waiver.
As with all participants, children must wear a properly-fitted life vest on the water. The CKC has a few life vests for larger children; check with the trip leader to see if they are available. For small children, you may need to supply your own. Children under 12 who are passengers rather than serious paddlers are not charged boat rental fee.
