The Lehigh Valley Canoe Club is one of the largest and most active paddling clubs in the United States.
 
We offer training, trips, socials and opportunities to improve and enhance our local rivers.

The best place to get up-to-date news about the Club is at our site.
Visit the links at the top navigation bar to learn more about the club. The News, Calendar and Message Boards keep you informed about club programs, scheduled trips and member chat.

Six times a year, we mail our newsletter, "River Readings." Here, you will learn about members' trips, upcoming programs and items of interest to local paddlers.

The LVCC holds regular monthly programs to teach, entertain and act on club business. Meetings are usually at 7 p.m. on the evening of the first Thursday of each month and are currently held at the Red Cross Building on Avenue A near the Lehigh Valley Airport. Regular monthly meetings are held September through November and February through May. In June, we hold a swap meet along the Little Lehigh in Allentown. In July and August, we have paddling picnics. In December, we have our holiday party.

The LVCC is first and foremost about paddling. Beginners are encouraged to take our winter pool classes or sign up for a weekend paddling intensive course through the Northeast PA Paddling School. Once you have learned the basics, we gear up to continue your training on the water with a series of increasingly challenging trips. And when you've gained experience, you'll be able to pick from the dozens of scheduled and pick-up trips that the LVCC coordinates each year. Soon, you will be leading trips yourself.

The LVCC wants you to get involved. We are a club and everyone pitches in to make our club successful. Here are some ways to get involved:  take a class, sign up for a river trip, come to a meeting, write an article, or volunteer for a committee.
