Guppy Gulch, Aug. 23


Please join us for a day of fun! A former slate quarry, the 15-acre freshwater reservoir boasts inflatable slides, climbing walls, a zipline, a rodeo pier, paddleboards, and jungle gyms for kids and adults alike on which to challenge and enjoy themselves. 


Everyone who participates must sign the ACA Waiver and Guppy Gulch waiver for insurance coverage.

Farewell to Dick Griffith, Sept. 15 (Tuesday)


Dick who? Well, this man, who recently passed away at age 98, lived one of the most colorful outdoor existences of our time. Wilderness traveler and Grand Canyon guide, he was legend in Alaska and the American West. Tune in to learn his story, with an introduction by guest host, Court Ogilvie, who has become CCA's ambassador to the Alaskan wild.

Return to the Balkans, Oct. 15 (Thursday)


Join your program chair as he introduces you to the glories of Romania and Bulgaria, through a paddler’s eye, of course. Don’t miss it.


As usual, these programs are virtual shows, so register now on the CCA website while slots are available. —Ed Gertler
