Lancaster Canoe Club (LCC)
Lancaster, PA
US
There are three major goals of the Lancaster Canoe Club. First and foremost, to stress safety in paddling. Second, to spread the enjoyment experienced in paddling. Third, to provide a vehicle for paddlers, or potential paddlers, to improve their paddling skills and enjoy all aspects of our fellowship and paddling experience.
The LCC is a great place to learn about the sport of paddling. Through the club, you can gain experience, meet new people, and just have fun. So come on, check us out!
The Lancaster Canoe Club was formed in 1976 by Bob Fulton, a C-1 paddler, and Phil Kenney, an open boat paddler. The two paddlers discussed the idea of trying to form a local canoe club and decided to advertise a planning meeting, to determine what local interest existed, in paddling .
On Wednesday evening, March 24, 1976, approximately 55 area canoe enthusiasts showed up for the planning meeting. It was immediately apparent that there was a lot of local interest in canoeing, and in forming a club. That evening 45 persons signed up and paid dues, which resulted in the beginning of the Lancaster Canoe Club.
The club has grown from that original 45 to a membership of over 150 individuals and families today. The club's activities have grown from 7 planned events that first year, to over 80 planned events and gatherings this year.
