Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any good whitewater clubs in this region. I now live in northern MD so I am pretty close to PA, DE and VA. I am more of a sea kayaker, but like to do a little bit of CLII and III whitewater as well.
Any info is appreciated.
thanks

The PCC has an active contingent of ww paddlers. They have indoor rolling sessions (don’t have to be a club member to attend the sessions) Saturday nights and Sunday mornings during the Winter. Take a look at their website at:

In York.Pa. They go out every Thursday evening at 5:00.
They are a great bunch of guys and gals. They meet and put-in at John Wrights factory in Wrightsille,Pa.
It cost $15 a year for membership but was not needed to go out with them.
They have canoeers,touring kayakers, ww kayakers etc. with trips and outings scheduled all the time.

This is probably more central PA than you’re looking for, but the Penn State Outing Club Whitewater group is pretty active.
