Upcoming events

Plans for Winter Quarter 2022:


Lake paddling:

  • We will be taking the sea kayaks out on Lake Washington every Sunday 12pm-3pm.

  • The specific dates are 1/16, 1/23, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13, 2/20, 2/27, and 3/6.

  • Wet exit test is required to participate. If you haven’t taken your wet exit test, join us at a pool session.

  • Meeting place: WAC


Pool sessions:

  • We will be attending pool sessions hosted by the Washington Kayak Club (WKC) on Wednesdays, meeting at the WAC at 5:45pm and returning around 9:30pm.

  • The specific dates are 1/12, 1/19, 1/26, 2/2, 2/9, 2/16, and 2/23.

  • The number of available spots will depend on how many drivers sign up. Therefore, please sign up if you’re interested and we will notify you about whether or not there is space.

  • The cost per session (after student discount) is $10 for WKC members and $20 for non-WKC members. WKC membership is $35/year. For more information please visit the WKC website. Instructions on how to register with WKC will be sent out.


Whitewater kayaking:

  • We will plan some whitewater trips later in the quarter based on how people are progressing at pool sessions (beginners welcome).

  • The pool sessions only run until 2/23, so if you want to do whitewater in the winter OR spring, now is the best time to get some practice in the pool and learn the necessary skills.


Social events:

  • We will have 2 social events on Feb. 3 and March 3. Possibilities include a kayak film screening, game night, etc. More details to follow.
