The Bow Waters Canoe Club Mission Statement:

"To promote and support recreational paddling, our primary activity, and cross country skiing, by providing educational and social opportunities in a safe and environmentally conscious manner to all interested people."

Bow Waters Canoe Club is organized as a non-profit club with a common purpose and sense of value for the outdoor world. This handbook is designed to help you understand this purpose. The canoe and ski tour schedules are the main activities that bring members together to share mutual interests. Frequent social events allow us to enjoy company, food, philosophy, and knowledge in an informal setting.  The lessons program is a huge component of our club and supports thousands of paddlers getting out on to the water safely every year.
