General Information

Practice Schedule.

Weather permitting, Mountain Home holds team practices every Monday 6-8pm, Wednesday 6-8pm, and Saturday 9am-12pm, and may hold “unofficial” or small boat practices on other days. As a member, you have a duty to sign up to attend practice via our online practice scheduler, giving coaches reasonable notice of your attendance. The coaches require this information to help set the boats before practice begins.

Sign our Waivers.

You must fill out two online waivers before you begin to paddle with Mountain Home: one club waiver, and one insurance waiver. Please protect yourself and help us to stay compliant.

Becoming a Member

Payment of Dues.

The initial step towards membership involves the payment of annual dues, which operate on a calendar-year basis and are payable by January each year. If you're new to Mountain Home, dues may be prorated depending on your joining date, with payment arrangements coordinated through the Treasurer.

Registration with Online Scheduler.

Your next step to membership is to connect with the Secretary to complete registration on Mountain Home's online scheduler. This step is crucial for accessing team communications and registering for practices, races, and various events. Mountain Home currently uses TeamSnap for scheduling.
