PORPA rowing club gears up for 2023 season By Reader Staff The 2023 season for the Pend Oreille Rowing and Paddling Association kicks off Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 with a maintenance and team-building weekend. Members of the Priest River-based rowing and other non-motorized water sports club will gather at the “Mudhole” in the Priest River Recreation Area, located one mile east of Priest River on U.S. Highway 2, to prepare and inspect boats and equipment, and set up the year’s season of events. The annual membership meeting to discuss club business and welcome several new members is scheduled for Sunday, June 4, with a barbecue and potluck to follow. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, PORPA plans to establish a membership brunch to showcase club activities, as well as offer free introductory courses on learning to row throughout the summer (for more information, email secretary@porpa.org). For experienced rowers, PORPA will hold a rowing session for all members every weekend; and, at least once per month, the club will host a social hour following the weekend rowing sessions. Weekdays will be open for teams and self-directed rowing for all. In addition to its weekly rowing events, PORPA, Long Bridge Swim organizers and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have teamed up to provide free water safety lessons at the Mudhole in the month of August. Sessions will be a total of three hours over one or two weeks. The sessions will be led by a local experienced swim instructor, though more instructors are encouraged to participate. Interested parents and guardians are invited to send their name, email, phone number, and number and ages of kids to be put on an email list for updates. Registration for classes will open on the PORPA.org website in early June. Volunteers to assist with classes are also needed. Send your contact info to water_safety@porpa.org. Finally, PORPA announced its second annual PORPA Sprints on the Priest River at the Priest River Recreation Area on Saturday Aug. 12. The event is a day of non-motorized races for stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, rowing shells, water bikes and even boats made of cardboard. All ages and abilities are welcome. Donations are welcome and help cover the costs for free youth registrations. Go to PORPA.org for more information.
