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.
From Amy Dingle of Five Rivers Metroparks of Dayton-
Hello,
I am not sure if you or anyone you know would be interested but we are hoping to get some paddlers out on the Great Miami River in front of Riverscape next Monday (June 28th) between 11:30am -1pm. It is the Grand Opening of the phase 3 project for Riverscape and we are trying to promote local paddle-sports. I am reaching out to all local clubs, university programs and retailers to see if anyone is available and interested in being out on the water.
If you are available and interested please let me know (even if it is for part of the time) . You are welcome to park at our office space parking area and walk down to the river and take out in the same place.
Thanks and I hope some of you can make it out. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Both WWWH and Five Rivers Metroparks need volunteers - let's help them out. To contact Whitewater Warehouse: 937-2070 or WWWH@erinet.com. To contact Five Rivers: amy.dingle@metroparks.org or 937-417-2189.
The squirrels have run rampant and are taking over the state. I'm pretty sure they've migrated from Michigan because they ate my Buckeyes corn hole bag. The campground is flooded with these nut hoarding rodents.
This is an official call out to OAC members heading down for Memorial Day. Anyone with a dog or gun bring it. This is a desperate situation and looks bleak but I'm confident the OAC can rise to the challenge and eradicate this threat.
The attached image is not for the faint of heart. Do NOT view the picture unless you are an adult and have a strong stomach. Be vigilant OAC.
John Cartwright has stepped down as President of the OAC for personal reasons. Brian Isble has agreed to fill in as Interim President until an election is held. Please take a moment and welcome Brian to his new office.
