Flatwater paddling:  Coordinate a trip on a familiar lake, pond or stream. All you need to know is how to get to and from the put- in. Our trip coordinators have no special training. They are not instructors or experts, just paddlers looking to share the fun.  You can do it. E-mail flatwater chair, Cheryl  at stonefoxfarm@Juno.com  or call 401-647-5887.

The people who coordinate RICKA trips are responsible for setting a meeting time and how to get to the put-in and take-out. The trip coordinators are unpaid volunteers who are not  professionals.  They are not and cannot be responsible for determining the adequacy of your skill level, your personal safety, well-being, or happiness. Trips are group events.  You, and you alone, are responsible for yourself.
