Practice Schedule

Monday/ Wednesday 6:15-7:45 pm & Saturday 8:45-10:15 am

RCP practices three days a week, two weeknight evening practices, and Saturday mornings.   We use TeamSnap to manage our roster and view paddlers’ availability.

Preparing for Practice

RCP practices in any weather that Portland throws our way. The key is to dress appropriately. Spring practices usually mean cooler temperatures and rain. Lightweight, waterproof pants and jackets are recommended, as are sneakers or waterproof shoes. Many paddlers wear hats and watersport gloves. Dress in layers, because you may find yourself sweating uncomfortably once practice is underway. Summer and early fall practices can be hot and just about anything you’d wear for summer activity is appropriate for paddling, including sandals.

Always bring water! Paddling is hard work and you’ll want to keep hydrated.

Parking and Meeting Locations

RCP meets outside of the Riverplace Hotel at the circle of flagpoles before practice. Many paddlers use the pay by the hour parking garage adjacent to the hotel (discount code available to team members) or find street parking in the vicinity. Wherever you choose to park, please take into account walking time in order to make it to practice on time.
