Promoting the Safe Enjoyment of Paddle Sports Since 1973

The MDCC was founded in 1973 for people who find enjoyment and relaxation in the sports of canoeing and kayaking. The group was also formed to exchange information, to support preservation of our waterways, and to promote SAFE boating. We are affiliated with American Whitewater. Our members have a wide range of boating interests and abilities, from placid cruising to Class V+ whitewater.

​

MDCC offers a variety of activities including guided trips, and annual pool roll sessions. Our roll sessions are one of the best ways to get started in kayaking. Roll sessions are attended by beginners and advanced paddlers. For beginners they are also a good way to meet people in the paddling community. We try to obtain boats for the pool session and for occasional beginner and rescue classes. The club does not own any boats and these boats come from our members.
