The American Canoe Association (ACA) is a member based, national nonprofit organization serving the broader paddling public by providing education related to all aspects of paddling; stewardship support to help protect paddling environments; and sanctioning of programs and events to promote paddlesport competition and recreation (aka FUN!).

The heart of the ACA is the people who paddle, cherish, protect, and enjoy the diverse waterways of America.

The Voyage of the Hōkūle‘a

"Currently, our compass – and indeed the world's – points toward an unsustainable future. However, as on a canoe, our ability to survive is directly dependent on our ability to help each other. By bringing together and working with scientists, educators, policy makers, business leaders and concerned citizens, we believe Hawai‘i can one day become a model of social and environmental responsibility to the world." - Polynesian Voyaging Society

The ACA is proud to be a partner in this endeavor. Learn more...

In order for the ACA to continue to support, promote, and grow paddlesports, we rely on membership dues, grant funding, and support from paddlers just like you.

Now, you can donate to a specific paddlesport program area: Education, Stewardship, Competition or Adaptive Paddling. Thank you for your consideration.
