ACA Clubs and Affiliates
Paddle America Clubs, Affiliate Clubs and Organizational Affiliates are a vital part of the American Canoe Association.
The ACA provides valuable services to the paddlesports community through our educational programs for paddlers, representation of paddlers on stewardship and public policy issues and facilitation of paddlesports recreation. There are many ways that the ACA and our Paddling Clubs and Affiliates work together and benefit from each other. This is the case with over 300 organizations currently affiliated with the ACA as Paddle America Clubs (PACs) or Affiliates.
Through the clubs and affiliates, paddlers have a chance to learn and share with one another as well as be a force and voice for matters important to paddlers, both locally and nationally. We enjoy hearing about the exciting trips and activities that clubs have throughout the year. Without PACs and Affiliates, the ACA would not have a “face” in many communities.
Enjoy the water and help bring more people into the paddling community. We’ll look forward to hearing about your new paddling friends and your latest paddling adventures.
