Adult Paddle Club - This is a great opportunity to experience a series of kayak excursions at different locations in the local seacoast area. Weather you're a newcomer to the sport or a seasoned paddler looking to hone your skills, Excursions Paddle Club could be just what you're looking for!

Trips will be run on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer and are designed to introduce you to different launch sites and paddle routes in the local seacoast area. Our goal is to create a low-keyed, small group environment that offers an opportunity to meet new friends and paddle new areas.  All trips will be lead by a Registered Maine Sea Kayak Guide who will discuss kayak safety, fundamental paddle strokes, common coastal hazards and the rules of the nautical road.  We provide all equipment necessary and use full size sea touring kayaks for tracking and distance paddling.

Excursions is located at Dixons Campground on route 1 in Cape Neddick, Maine. Participants will meet at Excursions and be shuttled to and from the various launch sites. We will provide light h'ordeauves or snacks for each trip. So no more excuses! Don't let your busy life get in the way of this exciting opportunity. Call Excursions at 207-363-0181 and register today.
