Member Benefits

 

Our club is designed so we could have fun, SAFE, skill improving, communicating with nature and team building kayaking. Join the OKC / Geoje Outdoor to meet other friendly kayakers while enjoying the following benefits.

 

Club House in Wahyun (Renovated in Oct, 2015, thanks Statoil Kayak Club)

All year long Kayaking is possible. Shower, Kayak Storage, Gears rental, member discount to purchase gears. Full apparels and gears to be ready in October, 2015.

 

Read and take part in online discussions with fellow kayakers through our online forums. The forums let you chat about everything related to paddling, from gear questions to selling gear, from where to paddle to sharing paddling experiences, and much more.

 

Add some excitement and exercise to your week with our weekly paddles. The weekly paddles also provide an opportunity to meet others who like to paddle. Club volunteers organize and hold paddling events on weekends and during the week also. We have events for every type of paddler; from relaxing paddles on quiet waters to longer, adventurous paddles in far away places.

 

Have an adventure on one of our kayak camping trips. OKC organizers design and hold multi-day kayaking camping trips. Some of these trips offer camping while exploring a new area by kayak. Other trips offer camping in a back-country campsite, accessible only by kayak. Non members and clients can add their already consumed amount to become a regular members.

 

Hone your abilities and learn new skills with our classes, workshops, and programs. You'll learn about places we've paddled, paddling safety, navigation, and different types of kayak paddles and kayaks. We've held workshops on how to pack your kayak for camping trips and how to build skin-on-frame kayak and more! The annual OKC symposium is a fantastic opportunity for members. The symposium is held on a weekend early in the paddling season. For a small registration fee the symposium includes tent camping, a dinner, and on-water and off-water classes taught by some wonderful instructors. In addition to classes and workshops, the monthly club meetings feature interesting presentations from experts and fellow paddlers to help you learn new skills or stir your imagination.

 

Get great deals from area outfitters and instructors with our Member Discount Program. The program gives members discounts on paddling classes from participating outfitters.

 

Organize your own trips. Once you have learned the necessary skills and completed the Organizer Training Workshop, you can post trips on the OKC calendar to invite members to your events. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Check out the organizer manual, Organizer Manual.

 

Make a real difference in the places you love and enjoy by taking part in our efforts to keep our paddling places clean. We organize cleanup events and take part in others (Clean Sweep, for example). Most of us that enjoy the outdoors seem to understand how important it is to keep it clean and do what we can to make the Earth a little "greener".
