Outdoor Afro has partnered with Canton Kayak Club (CKC) to expand the the number of kayak activities offered.  CKC’s Outreach Program allows a CKC rescue-trained Outdoor Afro member to lead a group outing of Outdoor Afro members using CKC kayaks, paddles and life jackets.  Outdoor Afro members gain water access and  more experience paddling, along with an awareness of the CKC organization and membership as a community resource.
