Our Mission...hmmm We were on a Mission here?

Up A Creek is here to serve one function. Fun! Let us repeat that. Fun! One motto that will repeat itself over and over is "If You have a Bad Time, It's Your Own Fault!"

If there is any one thing that a day a day on the Kaw will provide for you is a relaxing and fun adventure. We believe that everyone deserves a day of relaxation. If none of our scheduled events look right for you, tell us what would.

Our History

In the spring of 2006 Uncle Ron and I were discussing life's problems over a martini and he looked at me and said "Puppy...can you still get a hold of a canoe?" I reponded yes. He then stated "get it because this is going to be the summer of the canoe!"

2 years, 10 canoes, 10 kayaks and 2 canoe trailers later, we were on our way to this adventure!

We won't promise to get you down the creek but we can promise to get you up a creek...Paddles are optional!
