Trip Facilitator Information
Club Trips are what makes the WKCC shine. They are also something that YOU can do. You don't have to be a super boater or a pro to lead a club trip. In fact, all you need is the desire to get out on the water and the patience to deal with a very small amount of paperwork (mostly making sure people are club members or sign waivers if they aren't).
If you're interested in finding out more about leading WKCC trips, or if you are about to lead one and need to download/print the paperwork the current forms are located here:
