Please Tell Us What You Think

There are just a few days left to participate in the ACA's National Water Trails Improvement Survey. Your feedback has the potential to influence your future paddling experience!

Survey for general membership and public. 

Survey for outfitters, liveries, and guides.

(Closes February 9, 2014.)

Part of the ACA's mission is to enhance paddling experiences by providing decision makers with solid data. With this survey, we are gathering information about how water trail users plan their trips and like to experience the water. This information will help the National Park Service and its partners create materials and experiences better suited to your needs. 

Thank you for your input!

2015 Instructor Trainer Conference Survey

After receiving feedback from this past year's conference in Bend, Oregon, we have determined that the 2015 ACA National Paddlesports Conference will be specifically geared toward ITs and ITEs!

ACA Instructor Trainers and Educators have mad dance skills. 

Now we need input from our ITs and ITEs on two things:

1. Where to hold this new instructor trainer conference
2. What time of year to host it

Please take a few moments to complete this short survey (survey closes on Monday, January 6th). Your answers will help us plan an event truly tailored to the Instructor Trainers and Educators who comprise the core of the ACA Instruction Program.

Thank you!
