- Sunday Family Days at Calleva Outdoors, an outfitter in Poolesville, Maryland, from 2-5 p.m. beginning May 1 and offering flat and whitewater paddling.
- Basic kayaking lessons the first Wednesday of each month from 6-8 p.m. in the Suzanne Shipley Wellness Center at Shepherd University pool beginning Wednesday, May 4.
- Whitewater instruction, weekend paddle/camp trips, regional skill/leadership clinics, and kayak instruction courses.
