Training

CCGH has decided to cancel our classes for this summer. Safety is one of the most important points that we stress in our training classes and given the on-going pandemic, we have decided to not risk the health of our students and instructors.

American Canoe Association

CCGH has full range of classes planned each year. All of our classes are taught by ACA certified instructors following ACA guidelines.

CCGH has Jackson kayaks available for use by our students along with helmets, PFDs (life jackets), skirts, and paddles. We also have a solo canoe for our canoe classes. Students needing gear should select the gear needed while completing the training form. This will let the instructor know what gear to bring to the class. Sign up early as class size is limited.

Price: $15.00 and you must be a CCGH member. A CCGH family membership is only $20. If you are not yet a member, simply signup online on our registration page.

If you are an ACA member, please enter your ACA member number when signing up for the class. All students who are not ACA members are required to either purchase ACA Event Membership for $ 5.00 or becomeĀ anĀ ACA Member. Links to ACA Event Membership forms:

  • Adult ACA Event Waiver and Membership form
  • Minor ACA Event Waiver and Membership form

To join the ACA: ACA membership

On the day of the class, bring your ACA Event Membership form. Please inform your instructor of any medical issues related to your ability to perform strenuous exercise or that would impact your ability to paddle.

The water will be there when the Covid-19 pandemic ends; we want to be sure that everyone stays healthy so they can have fun on the water when the crisis ends.
