Biographical History
The American Canoe Association was formed on August 3, 1880, at Crosbyside, Lake George, New York. The purpose was to 'unite all persons interested in the use of canoes and kayaks for the purpose of pleasure, health, or exploration, by means of meetings for business; by camping, paddling, sailing and racing; by keeping details, drawings and dimensions of hulls and rigs, collection of maps, charts, books and photographs; and by cooperating with other organizations sponsoring canoeing programs and water sports.' Since its inception, the A.C.A. has organized and participated in regional, national and international races and has held an annual national camp, primarily at Sugar Island in the Thousand Islands. The American Canoe Association is also a member of the International Canoe Federation and the Amateur Athletic Union.
