KvS Calendar 2025

We are still in the middle of winter. But even then you can go canoeing, well dressed. On Sunday afternoon it is club afternoon and we are open from 14:30.

The tour committee, consisting of Erwin, Egon and Richard are preparing a number of tours for the coming season. Do you have an idea for a tour or do you want to organize one? Send an mail.

On Sunday afternoon the club is open and you can warm up the water on or in our clubhouse with a drink. And who knows, we might light the campfire outside!

Do you want to participate in one of the tours as a member? Then register via the link and otherwise via the AppGroep or via an email to the tour committee.
