About UsPrairie State Canoeists (PSC) is a not-for-profit organization with about 500 members. Volunteer club members organize more than 100 recreational and educational paddling trips annually. Prairie State Canoeists is organized in accordance with the Not-For-Profit Corporation Act of the State of Illinois. MissionThe Prairie State Canoeists organization benefits its members and the general public by promoting canoeing, kayaking and related activities, including the establishment, maintenance and preservation of canoe trails and natural water courses, the conservation of natural resources, and the promotion of an ecological awareness in its members and the general public. TripsA majority of our trips are within a 100 mile radius of Chicago, in the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin area. We also travel to northern Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Iowa, with some adventuresome paddlers venturing as far away as Arkansas and Montana. Most of our trips are one-day outings; a few are week-long canoeing/camping trips. Kayaking has become as popular as canoeing among our members. A list of current trips is available in the "Trip Schedule " section of our web site. Prairie State Canoeists does NOT provide equipment on trips. MembershipFor many years, membership dues have been $15 per year for an entire family, but as of Jan 1, 2007 will be going up to $20 per year. If you join before Jan 1, you can still take advantage of the old rate. Members receive a new member packet, 6 newsletters per year detailing upcoming trips, and reports of previous trips, interesting news items and a membership directory.
