The Open Canoe Associate has been providing opportunities for members to meet up and paddle for many years.

We facilitate training and mentoring, including opportunities to develop leadership skills and offer guidance and resources to members wishing to offer an OCA event.

We have developed a network of national and international opportunities and connections and always look to work with other organisations which promote a spirit of adventure.

New members are always welcome, regardless of age, experience or ability. Families, women, young people and paddlers with a disability are especially welcome as are lone paddlers looking for a network of like-minded people who share a similar passion for open canoeing.
