The Kansas City Whitewater Club was established around 1985 and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 1999. The KCWC seeks to provide basic kayak and canoe paddling skills and on-the-river training to club members and the community. The club also has ACA certified Swiftwater Rescue instructors as its members. Providing a fun and safe paddling experience on the water has been the hallmark of the KCWC for over 20 years. There are several Class II rivers and playspots in the KC area that are rain dependent that members enjoy, but we also take numerous weekend trips to rivers in the Ozarks and the beautiful St. Francis River in east-central Missouri. Club trips to Colorado are an annual tradition along with a yearly trip to southeast rivers in the fall. There is a strong contingent of members who own their own rafts and enjoy multi-day paddling trips on western rivers. Club members also like to participate in slalom racing events and hosts an annual indoor pool slalom to provide winter training opportunities. The KCWC is a very social organization and invites prospective members of all ages and paddling crafts to attend our monthly gatherings posted in our newsletter and on the website. Families, singles, and married couples, young and matured, all enjoy the camaraderie provided by the KCWC.
