CUSTOM TRIPS
    Do you have something special in mind — paddling to a different destination or developing a unique adventure for your business, church or social group?
    We can help. Our staff can design and manage the perfect event for your group, allowing participants to escape confining offices; learn about local history and natural resources; build a sense of teamwork; view rare plants, birds and wildlife; get to know one another better; learn new lifelong skills; and connect once again with nature.
    It's impossible to describe what is available, because there is no "typical" offering. But some recent adventures included:

• Leaders from a local government exploring their natural resources, learning more about local history and getting to know each other better.
• Church and social groups finding an experienced guide to help them explore and learn about special interests.
• Corporate and bank executives building effective work teams by trading another day at the office for the escape of paddling and informal interaction of a leisurely luncheon.
• Scouts enjoying the outdoors, learning about nature and working toward achievement badges.

    The options are limitless. To learn more about how custom-designed trips and courses can enhance your group, contact The Haw River Canoe & Kayak Co.
