During the fall, winter, and spring semesters, the club constructs the canoe; it then travels to a participating colleges to compete in the races. Some of the colleges include West Point, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn State, and Johns Hopkins. The races consist of men’s, women’s, co-ed, and faculty teams, and are usually attended by six to ten other college teams.
