Student Outings - 2025
Northeast Wisconsin Paddlers caps off its winter classes season with an opportunity to practice your new skills on “real” water! These events are for participants in NEWP classes in the current year and all other current club members. NEWP offers the use of its whitewater or sea kayaks and related gear and provides qualified instructors to guide participants through the event. These outings are an extension of our classes and not open to friends or family members who have not taken our classes – we focus on building on skills learned in the classroom setting. All NEWP club members and instructors are also encouraged to participate.
All participants must provide a fully completed ACA waiver before the event. If you are a current ACA member, be sure to note your ACA member number on the form. There is no cost for current ACA and NEWP, Inc members, but there is a $10.00 fee for ACA nonmembers to cover event insurance costs. Check our Membership page for information on becoming a member. Use of club boats and gear is free for any student who needs it.
PFDs must be properly fitted and worn at all times while on the water by all participants.
