our Club and ITS History

Volunteer Organization

We offer high quality trips and classes to all levels of paddlers.  We are vigilant in Safety.  We have fun paddling the ocean, rivers, and lakes.  We are good stewards of our paddling environment.  We owe a great debt to our volunteer Board of Directors (you can find out who is on the board and how to contact them at the "Contact OOPS" page) and our magnificent volunteer trip leaders.

You can help!  Please consider volunteering your time to assist other OOPS members with club activities, events, and opportunities throughout the year.

History

OOPS was founded in 1983 by two couples leading  trips each month and mailing out a calendar.  A print newsletter called The Gam was once a highlight of membership.  We incorporated as a nonprofit in 1997 and now have around 400 members.
