Volunteering

The BCE is a volunteer based organization. Paddling, racing and other members of the club are expected to provide service in support of the Club’s programs. Remember: The Club’s goals will only be achieved with your help. Please support your Club by volunteering!

Please indicate below the services you would prefer to provide. Use the Ctrl key & left click to select multiple tasks.


BCE is a USA Canoe/Kayak (USACK) Whitewater Slalom Training Center. Membership dues help the BCE provide financial support, training facilities and coaching to dedicated athletes who are training for whitewater slalom competition. BCE membership runs on a calendar year basis, starting Nov.1 of the previous year. Dues are as follows:

• Individual Membership: $50 plus 12 hours of volunteer service or $100 without volunteer service.

• Family Membership: Individual membership as above (for 1st family member), plus $20 for each additional Dickerson Paddler (pink or blue card) or $10 for each non-paddler (white card). If new family members are added, a new Mirant wavier must be submitted for each.

• Visiting members of recognized racing organizations: $40 for two months of Dickerson admission (If more than two months Dickerson use is required, an individual membership must be purchased).

• Dickerson User Fee: Participants in non-BCE coached Dickerson programs will pay a $5 per day user fee. The fee will be collected by the program coach, such as Liquid Adventures Kayak School. (Visiting racers with two month memberships are excluded from the User Fee.)

Membership dues help the BCE provide financial support, training facilities and coaching to dedicated athletes who are training for whitewater slalom competition.
