» Welcome to the OAC!
The Outdoor Adventure Club (OAC) is a Dayton, Ohio based club whose primary focus is whitewater kayaking. We also have members interested in a myriad of outdoor sports who are always looking for people to play with or teach or learn from. We have bikers, runners, hikers and skiers and are always looking for more!

The club has a very busy paddling schedule from early spring through late fall. We have trips to West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia and Pennsylvania among others to suit all skill levels. We can also help you find certified kayak instruction here in Ohio to get you started.

Our club is proud to have many family groups as members, and many of our camping trips feature activities for the non-paddler and children, including hiking, campfire science night, ice cream socials, pizza night and random good times. But after the kids go to bed, there is plenty of campfire entertainment for the adults! If you're worried about noisy late nights you can camp in "geezerville" where posted quiet hours are strictly observed! Our club members often coordinate indoor events like hockey games, wine tastings and movies during our "down" time to enhance the relationships formed on the river and in camp. You will find new friends among the members of our club.

The OAC is an AWA affiliate.

As most of your all know, Riverman moved June 1 2009 and Mt. Laural is no longer open for us to camp at this year and their new area is not going to be ready for another year for group tent campers/RVs. At the Memorial Day trip the club voted to try the old Rivers Outfitter Campground out that just open this year under new owners that is called The Camps at Fayette Station.

The OAC has an area reserved right now for the 4th of July weekend. Come on out this holiday weekend and check out the new campgrounds in Fayetteville, WV. See the Trip Planning Forum for complete details

» PADDLE IN THE PARK June 6
May 27, 2009 - 6:09 PM - by TheMichelle



Paddle in the Park:
Paddle in the Park is June 6th from 10am - 4pm and we are looking for volunteer safety boaters to paddle during the demo to be out there for pointers or help if someone decides to take a swim. I am hoping to break the time into three (3) two hour shifts (10-12, 12-2, 2-4) but anything you are available for would be appreciated. Lunch is provided if you fill a two hour shift! If you are available please contact Amy Dingle 937-417-2189 or amydingle@metroparks.org . Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated!

Thanks,
Amy

Reminder to everyone to bring your throw ropes and paddling gear for the river safety class to be held tomorrow evening.

You will also need your paddling gear to demo new kayaks.

It sounds like we are to have nice weather tomorrow even for the meeting.
