Hello EU Community -
While most of us have been searching for skiable snow this winter, our EU Paddle group has been busy planning for warmer days on the water. We’ve launch our registration for our summer programming focusing on sprint kayaking (ages 11-14), Adult competitive canoe racing.
For those who have some old personal flotation devices stuffed in a corner in your garage, you know how funky they can get after several years of daily use. To support our summer programs we need to swap out some of our PFDs and purchase new ones. We need to raise ~$450 to support the new PFDs. Consider donating today!
We look forward to seeing you on the water!
