The CPA webpages haven't been updated in a while - other priorities have intruded on the person maintaining the page, but generally, the schedule, newsletters, etc are just slightly out of date. Membership information on the web page is correct (http://www.abs.net/~gregh/kayaking/), and the membership is still $10 per year. Further information: THE CHESAPEAKE PADDLERS ASSOCIATION Sea Kayaking in the Chesapeake Bay Area WHO ARE WE? The Chesapeake Paddlers Association is an informal network of paddlers who enjoy the sport of sea kayaking. Our interests are as diverse as our 300+ members. For some, the lure of sea kayaking is the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. For others, it is an opportunity to explore the hundreds of miles of river, bay, and ocean coastline which lie within Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Most of our members are novices, with a large number of intermediate paddlers and a small, growing group of advanced paddlers. Regardless of your skill level, you will find others to share in your kayaking interests. We even have kayakers from other regions who participate when possible in our trips and share experiences from their local paddling. WHAT DO WE DO? The Chesapeake Paddlers Association provides a way for those interested in sea kayaking to meet, socialize and paddle together. During the spring, summer and fall months we produce a monthly newsletter which provides information on our activities. Many of these activities are day trips on different areas of the bay. The trips are geared toward the different experience levels of the members. Other activities include weekend campouts, free safety and instructional clinics, weekly evening trips, and kayak support at charity swims, such as the annual Bay Bridge swim.
