Hey guys, if you attended this class, we will be meeting on Saturday, August 12th at 10 am at the Middle Ocoee Put In parking lot, also known as Damn #2 or the Roger’s Branch access. Be prepared to have fun! We will offer a friendly paddle down the river after the clinic. You may also consider heading over to the Hiwassee River just 30 minutes away if you don’t want to paddle the Ocoee. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Middle+Ocoee+Put-In/@35.0828501,-84.4904354,18.47z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x3418c84407fa8483!8m2!3d35.0828949!4d-84.4904188

Please bring plenty of water, snacks, suncreen, etc. We will be on the water for about 5 hours. We will warm up with some flatwater rolls at the put in. We will then play our way down the river and primarily focus on two locations with good current to practice our rolls.
*If you did not pay online, please bring $50 cash or check. If you are a member of the ACA, please bring your member number!
After paperwork, we will organize our own shuttle to the public take out. See you Saturday!
