Paddling: Pathway Connection Events
Enjoy the Outdoors & Meet New Friends!
Looking to unwind and make new connections? Join us for a series of relaxed paddling meet-ups—perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy nature, get active, and spend meaningful time with others.
These recreational events are beginner-friendly and welcome all skill levels. Whether you have a kayak, canoe, paddleboard, or other (non-motorized) watercraft, this is your chance to get out on the water and appreciate the peace of creation with great company.
Each event is hosted at a different local spot, and while the paddling is the main focus, the heart of this gathering is connection. There’s no formal programming—just time together on the water. Grab your water bottle and a snack.
Specific addresses for meeting up and a contact will be provided upon registration.
