Join NBCB in the summer tradition of reconnecting with nature by spending time in creeks! We'll start our trip indoors learning how to select the right gear, basic paddle strokes, and equipment anatomy. 

Then, it's creektime baby! Once we're on the water we'll get a feel for the boats, put our skills into practice, and embrace our little slice of nature in the city! 

Important Safety Information

Forecast is hot, with a predicted high of 89° and we will be out in the warmest part of the day. To prepare for this, drink lots of water and bring snacks and electrolytes if you need. A long sleeve UV protective shirt, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are strongly recommended (examples here and here).

Please fill out our self assessment, so your name will appear on our list of members.
