Photo Contest

The annual Photo Contest captures the best of members’ photos throughout the past paddle season and this past years’ submissions were no exception. The year end Club dinner showcases the talented photographic skills of all our members and narrows the submissions to a winner, and runner up in the Nature and Club Activities categories. Congratulations to Kim Korgemaa for winning first place in the Nature category with her Up, Up, and Away photo, and to Bob Casement the runner up for his Treading Carefully  photo. Also congratulations to the Winner in the Club Activities category, Linda Anderson for her R&R in the Adirondacks and the Runner Up Kim Korgemaa for Under the Umbrella. 


Please be advised that as of Spring 2017 all paddlers are required to wear a life jacket.
