AngelRide is Connecticut's only pan-state charity ride and benefits the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp's Hospital Outreach Program. The funds raised bring the magic of Camp to hospitalized children in 21 pediatric care facilities from New York to Boston.

AngelRide, held every Memorial Day weekend, starts at the Yale School of Music in Norfolk, CT, with an overnight stay at the world famous Hole in the Wall Gang Camp (started by Paul Newman), and ends in scenic Mystic, CT. Riders choose either a one or two-day ride experience with a fundraising commitment of $1000 (two day), or $500 (one day).

AngelRide is not just another charity bicycle ride, it is a unique, transformative experience. Passing through 22 of Connecticut's most beautiful rural towns on Saturday, riders arrive at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp (modeled after an old western town) where they are greeted with first class food, massage therapists, entertainment in the same theater shared by many of the major film celebrities over the past 20 years, tours of the Camp (a magical place), and much more. After a ceremony on Sunday morning, riders proceed to the Finish on the shores of beautiful Mystic, CT. Rider's families are invited to join a gala finish celebration as they welcome the riders. The fundraising effort directly benefits children by bringing over 20,000 smiles (child visits) and the joy of Camp to the bedside of hospitalized children.

Paddling in slalom gates is a great way to develop your boat control skills in a relatively safe and controlled environment. By challenging paddlers to successfully negotiate a series of roughly 3-foot wide gates hanging over a section of river, whitewater slalom artificially increases the difficuly of a given run without increasing the danger. Failure to negotiate a gate successfully merely means hitting a hanging gate pole(s) or missing the gate completely, not crashing into a boulder.

This weekend clinic, which is co-organized by KCCNY and the ACA Atlantic Division Open Canoe Slalom Committee, is intended to introduce novice and intermediate paddlers to slalom competition as a means to enhance their whitewater skills and assumes some river paddling competence. Special emphasis is placed on youngsters and women at this event. The Slalom Clinic/Race will be held held on the Class 1 whitewater of the Ten Mile River at Webatuck Craft Village, Wingdale, NY.

The competition is divided into novice and expert divisions with the emphasis on instruction rather than competition. The race is further broken down into classes that are defined by the number of paddlers (solo or tandem), their sex, their age, and/or the type and length of their boat. The race will include classes for "recreational" (REC) whitewater boats, separate from the specialized slalom boat classes. While a limited number of open and decked slalom boats may be available for participants to try out, if you have a whitewater boat of any type, please bring it so that there will be no waiting lines for boats when the clinic is in progress.

Whitewater canoe and kayak slalom is a timed event over a prescribed course, not unlike ski slalom, but with some notable differences. The gates, which are numbered, must be run in order. Some of the gates, with green and white poles, require the paddler to paddle downstream through them, while others, with red and white poles, require upstre
