Jericho Social Paddle
Please note JSP start time in September is at 5:30pm (due to the earlier sunset). Please ensure you arrive 10 minutes earlier, so we can get on the water on time
Key points:
The first Social Paddle of the 2024 season will be on Friday, May 10.
If you would like to request a particular boat please send us an email or call the office to let us know. Also, ensure you arrive early so you have your pick of boats that are available.
Registration opens on a rolling basis on Sundays at 10am for the following Friday.
Our Social Paddle fills up quickly so we recommend registering right when it opens. You must be registered for the Social Paddle in order to join the group.
Overview:
Do you want to paddle together with others? Connect with other paddlers? Exchange ideas, experience, tips and tricks? Socialize and make new friends?
Join us each Friday evening for our Jericho Social Paddle.
Anybody (16+) and all genders are welcome. Most paddlers have some experience but newcomers are very welcome.
We offer discounted kayak rentals for those participating or you can join the group with your own kayak for a further discounted rate! Please register when joining us with your own kayak.
Registration opens each Sunday at 10am for the following week.
You must be registered for the Social Paddle in order to join the group. Unfortunately, if the Social Paddle is full, you cannot rent a kayak from us or bring your own boat and just join the group on the water. (This is for everyone’s safety. It allows us to maintain the industry standard ratio of one guide for every six guests, and helps the guides to ensure they bring back the same number of guests as they took out!)

Rates
Default Rate: $45, but sliding scale pricing is available.
Are you planning to come on a regular basis? It might be worth getting our Season’s Pass or our All-Inclusive Save-on-Six Rental Pass.
Sliding Scale Pricing
What is sliding scale pricing?
The idea behind sliding scale pricing is that there are multiple price points available to participate in this activity. This is to make the program more accessible and to help reduce financial barriers for people with different levels of income.
If you can please pay our ‘default’ pricing ($45). If you do not have the financial means to afford that you can choose to pay a lower price ($35). If you have extra means available please consider selecting the “generous” option ($55).
Scholarship Fund
We are excited to announce that parts of the proceeds from our Social Paddle will be directed towards a scholarship fund which will be used to offer spots in our summer camps for families who wouldn’t be able to afford them otherwise.
$10 of our default price for the Social Paddle will be directed to the scholarship fund.
If you select the ‘generous’ option for your Social Paddle participation $20 will be directed to the scholarship fund.
Double Kayak discount and BYO Kayak
With the introduction of our sliding scale pricing, we have discontinued the discount for using a double kayak.
However, if you would like to paddle a double kayak with your paddling partner you are very welcome to select the “accessible” price option for each of you.
If you would like to participate with your own kayak you are also welcome to choose the “accessible” price option. This will help us pay our instructors and for the logistics of organizing this wonderful event.
