Welcome!
The Canoe Kayak Committee (CKC) offers a wide variety of paddling trips most weekends throughout the year. We paddle on quiet water, whitewater and sea kayak trips ranging from one day to one week. Many of our trips are in the NY-North Jersey area, but we travel from Canada to Georgia looking for fun paddling opportunities. Benefits we offer include:
- 100 trips a year
- over 50 boats available to rent to trip participants at a nominal fee
- canoe and kayak instruction courses
- safety and rescue classes (safe paddling = fun paddling)
- pool sessions
- great fun!
The AMC has been a leader in paddle sports for almost 100 years. We invite you to join us on a trip to experience the beauty and diverse waterways of our region. SYOTW!
