RMSKC


Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club

The Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club was a nonprofit organization created to promote an appreciation of the outdoors, good environmental stewardship and the sport of sea kayaking in a safe, friendly and respectful manner.  The RMSKC organized kayak trips in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond, and offered a helpful community to people new to the sport.

RMSKC has now merged with the Rocky Mountain Canoe Club. It is a good fit as many of the RMSKC members were also RMCC members and many of RMCC’s trips are suitable for sea kayaks. This page contains an archive of RMSKC destination descriptions and newsletter articles.
