Fort Canoe Kayak Club

What is Paddle-All?

• Our Paddle-All promotes participation in canoe/kayak for autistic individuals and those with developmental disabilities ages 8-25 years.
• Although all abilities are welcome, participants must be comfortable being on water, have some swimming ability (but all will be wearing personal floatation devices) and will be in a boat by themselves, so be able to follow basic directions.
• You do NOT need to qualify for Special Olympics to sign up.
