Welcome to the OCA! Membership Information

The OCA , being a National Association, has no clubhouse or equipment to maintain. This means our overheads are relatively low. This enables us to offer membership at, probably the least expensive rates in the UK.

Adult Membership £16 per year
Family membership £26 per year
Junior membership (5- Student) £10 per year
Club Associate membership* £60

All memberships run for a calendar year from the date you join.
We are affiliated to British canoeing.

*Club Associate membership allows Canoe Clubs affiliated to BC to access all our events at membership rates for up to 5 of their members. For more details, contact the membership Secretary @ membership@opencanoe.info

What is included in your membership subscription?

•Your annual membership subscription gives you the following opportunities:

• Exclusive access to many ‘members only’ paddling events. Most of our organised paddles are very popular and open to subscribed members only.

• Discounted members rates to any event open to all. If an event is open to everyone, there will be a discounted rate for OCA members to sign up at.

• Exclusive coaching and courses. We work with our own volunteers and like-minded companies to provide courses that are tailored to the needs of OCA members. We don’t just replicate BC courses but look to offer that little bit extra at realistic prices.

• Help to progress your paddling, build on your skills and develop your ability to become an independent paddler.

• Family events. Exclusive to members and great to spend some time together on the water and around the campsite.
