UMOC Calmwater Canoeing

Every fall and spring the club embarks on a number of canoeing trips (led by Al Howecraft).  Most of these are day trips to places such as the Connecticut River or the Deerfield River to name a few.  Traditionally there have been longer trips as well to places such as the Everglades in Florida or the Rio Grande in Texas.  One of the more manic trips that UMOC does is the Connecticut River Challenge. We start from the Canadian border and attempt to canoe as far as possible down the Connecticut River, paddling for three days straight, day and night.  For more information and pictures of the CRC click the links below.



Our Current Canoing Chair is Ryan Mann.

The Canoing leaders are:

    Chris Ledoux
    David Su
    Erik Hjerpe
    Al Howcroft
    Will Thomas
    Sarah Miano
    Sage Fredura
