About this event
While sitting at the lake's edge, you notice a canoe paddling straight as an arrow. When the boat nears a partially submerged stump, it mysteriously “slides” to the right to avoid the obstacle. When the canoe approaches the shore, fully loaded for a camping trip, it turns gracefully and again “slides” to shore, parallel to the beach, to make unloading an easy chore for the happy paddlers. How did this all happen? Was it magic? Or just good paddling skills?
The Adirondack FreeStyle Canoe Symposium offers excellent instruction in a quiet water venue for people wishing to improve their paddling and boat control skills. Courses are offered for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced paddlers, in both solo and tandem canoe.
Classes are based on Freestyle techniques, i.e., using body, boat and blade physics to add efficiency and ease to your paddling. The AFCS is designed to be an enjoyable weekend in the scenic Adirondacks, where you can receive coaching from experienced United States Canoe Association Instructors, who will assess your skills and allow you to learn at your own pace.
AFCS 2025 will return to Paul Smiths, New York. The Symposium will he held concurrently with the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association’s Annual Assembly.
