    Today, we entered another Paddle Adventures Plus Station Camp Creek Adventure into the books. I truly appreciate the great teamwork of everyone on the shuttles, looking out for our paddling friends, & working together in every situation along the way.

      “ The water was very cold, BOTH times! Fun with these people cant be beat. ”
    • “ It was an overall excellent experience. It was my first meetup with the group and everyone was fun and friendly. I appreciated the high level of organization, and the emphasis on safety and all for one approach. Never thought I'd go paddling with a guy packing a chainsaw, but that really came in handy - an example of how thoroughly well thought out the paddle was. Looking forward to many future outings with everyone! ”
