Frequently Asked Questions

Do you rent/loan out boats and gear?

No.  We are not a business so we can't rent our equipment.  Also, we don't loan out our club boats for private use due to liability.  We have some club boats that if you join the club and sign up for an event, you can get a seat in (based on a first sign-up basis) if you want to participate in a club event but don't have your own boat.  We also have a Facebook group where you are welcome to post a message looking for anyone to connect with privately for boat sharing.

Do you know of any places around town that do rentals?

Your best bet is to reach out to David at Beyond Adventure YMM. He frequently does rentals at the Snye.

Do you provide lessons or run day camps?

We do not do formal lessons. We often work together as a group to work on skills or sometimes organize a group training session for members. As far as we know, there is no one locally providing this service, but there are some you can find via google in Edmonton, Calgary, Banff, and Jasper areas.

Do you offer guide services? Can our group hire you to take us on a tour?

We don't offer guiding services. If you are new to the area and want to explore a bit, you are welcome to join the club and try out any of our club trips. You are also welcome to post on our Facebook page even if you aren't a member to connect with other paddlers. If you are a group of paddlers from another club and are interested in coming to the area and planning a joint trip with our club, please email us. We love to hear from and meet other paddlers and explore!

Where can I buy a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard?

Locally, Canadian Tire sells boats. Beyond Adventures YMM frequently has paddleboards for sale as well. Also, check Atmosphere or other sporting goods stores. If you are looking for second-hand, your best bet is to watch Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace. You are also welcome to post a looking-for message on our Facebook page.
