Rocky Mountain Canoe Club

2021 Schedule of RMCC Events

RMCC is happy to announce that a full schedule of trips and classes has been created for 2021 (see the list below). Detailed descriptions for each of these activities are on the RMCC website calendar at:  Upcoming EventsRocky Mountain Canoe Club. Several of our events filled shortly after the Permit Party so if you want to attend a trip that says it has a waiting list, be sure to ask the Trip Coordinator to add your name to the list, there are always a few people who drop out before the event.

Demand for our trips has risen and so has RMCC’s need for more Trip Coordinators, especially for people willing to lead a second trip down a popular river like the Yampa, South Platte or Colorado. If you are willing to lead a trip or even help coordinate the logistics for one, please contact Kit Williams at KitrynWilliams@gmail.com. Don’t forget that you can request to be mentored by one of our experienced leaders this year so you feel comfortable in leading that trip in upcoming years.
