NEWP Membership
- NEWP membership runs from December 1 through the following November 30.
- Your ACA membership dates will likely be different.
- We’ve added online processing for membership as well as payment. You can now join/renew your membership conveniently through this membership page and utilize PayPal, Venmo or even your credit or debit card rather than printing out forms and sending in a paper check.
- Annual dues are $20. A single membership covers all family members, the same as before. The ACA no longer has family memberships, but NEWP still does.
See the FAQ for more details.

As an American Canoe Association (ACA) Paddle America Club (PAC), Northeast Wisconsin Paddlers (NEWP) relies on the ACA for many support features including instructor certification, insurance, education coursework, and safety policies. In adherence to our bylaws, all members of NEWP must also be members of the ACA.
Completing your membership involves joining ACA, joining NEWP, and completing an annual liability waiver. Necessary links are available in the sidebar to the left.
