This is an appeal for HELP !! The Sierra Nevada Canoe and Kayak Club, a relatively new organization, is planning to publish to its members a list or outline of the things that leaders or organizers of Club trips must be responsible for. As a long time subscriber to Paddlewise, I figure that somewhere in the archives, on somebody's website, or in a link, there is likely a list to which we refer to ascertain that we've not overlooked anything. If you can help I'd certainly appreciate it. Respond directly to bishopd_at_jps.net if you'd like.

The American Canoe Association has a formal program for clubs that wish to affiliate. As part of the 'Paddle America' program, they maintain and recommend guidelines at their web site that I find appropriate and useful. It certainly isn't necessary to be part of the program to benefit from the guidelines. However, there can be excellent benefits if you choose to affiliate your organization (e.g. discounted ACA membership, liability coverage for club paddles & events etc). Here are some links: Safety Guidelines, as published by an ACA club (you might want to review this web site, in general, as there is much information for safety and trip leaders) http://www.ccpac.org/safety/ccpac-paddling-guidelines.shtml Safety Guidelines for ACA Sanctioned Events (applies to larger events, e.g. symposium, race etc, but is largely applicable to group paddles & trips) http://www.acanet.org/pdf/safetyguideline.pdf ACA Safety & Responsibility Code (for individual paddlers) http://www.acanet.org/safetyresponsibilitycode.htm Hope this helps, Nancy -----Original Message----- From: Jackie Myers [mailto:jackie_at_paddlewise.net] Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Trip Leader Responsibilities >The Sierra Nevada Canoe and Kayak Club, a relatively > new organization, is planning to publish to its > members a list or outline of the things that > leaders or organizers of Club trips must be > responsible for.
