Edit Your Scheduled Trips

You can now edit your trips on the Trip Schedule.

If you don't remember which e-mail address that is, please contact the webmaster.

PSC operates on a calendar year. This means that everyone's membership needs be renewed each January, regardless of when you joined. If you have a question about the status of your membership, contact the Membership Secretary.  By paying your dues promptly, you not only save money, but it will ensure that your name will appear in the directory and that you will not miss any issues of the newsletter. Download and print the 2008 membership application and renewal form.


About the Club

Established in 1971, Prairie State Canoeists (PSC) continues to be one of the Midwest's largest clubs with approximately 500 family memberships. Most members live in the Chicagoland area. The club sponsors over 100 trips a year (flat water and whitewater). Day-trips are common, and multi-day trips may include camping. ACA-certified instructors conduct a series of annual training trips for club members of all skill levels. The club's major concerns are clean rivers, river access, and improving put-ins and take-outs on rivers across the upper Midwest. Read more...
