What we’re about
Welcome to Crazy Kayak Adventures Tribe!
We are into kayaking, camping, nature walks, hiking, bicycling, backpacking or just sharing a love for the outdoors. If you enjoy paddling rivers, creeks and lakes, this is the group for you! Our group is intended for both beginning and experienced recreational kayakers from the Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky areas to share their passion for the sport of kayaking. Again, all skill levels are welcome! Keep in mind that paddling involves some inherent risk. Because of this, some paddles may not be appropriate for new or beginner paddlers. You must read and accept our release of liability prior to joining or attending any event.
Our agenda is to safely promote the sport of kayaking & camping, to relieve the apprehension that beginners always have and help familiarize kayakers & campers with the beautiful natural world and fun that kayaking & camping offers. We kayak our favorite lakes and slow-moving rivers, increase our skills, demonstrate and share our equipment with novices, encourage our children and grandchildren to take up our favorite pastime. Lets have fun with old friends and new! It's all about the Campfire!
Enjoy Crazy Kayak Adventures! We are here to have fun and We're glad you are here!
