The OKCC website is undergoing a major update and renovation. The Pool Sessions, Classes, and Access pages are all new. There are more new pages coming that we hope will be helpful and interesting to the members, so be sure to check back often. Almost every page has had some updates completed, and much more work is still being done. Our goal is to make this web page useful to the members by being able to easily access current water levels, learn where the nearest pool session is, find out about a class to improve your skills, learn new safety skills, find a manufacturer, get a river permit, or learn how to connect with others in the paddling community. Your feedback and help to make this site better is much appreciated by contacting the webmaster.
