Home - The Chesapeake Paddlers Association, Inc.

The CPA offers many diversified activities and benefits providing a way for people to safely enjoy sea kayaking within the Chesapeake Bay region.

There are loads of swim events this season that need kayakers to support them! We are needed, and important! Some of the events still even need on-water coordinators to stand tall and give directions. Do you like the idea of giving back to the community using your kayak? Want to feel proud and provide an awesome service to others? Check out the Swim Support page, and read the linked calendar events to find event contact information. Sign up to help now!
You may have noticed some changes, The CPA has an updated website!  We hope you enjoy it!  Click and learn more.
The CPA has a dedicated space for paddlers seeking or selling gear.
Mix and mingle with fellow paddlers. Talk about kayaking events, paddling trips, gear, and much, much more.
