About
The American Canoe Association (ACA) and RIVERSPORT are pleased to welcome you to the 2024 USA Canoe Slalom National Team Selections. The event will be held in the city’s Boathouse District on RIVERSPORT’s $45M whitewater course. Conveniently located in downtown OKC, it is within walking distance of the Bricktown Entertainment District where you will find hotels, restaurants, and family entertainment.
We would like to welcome as many volunteers as possible to join our community, but of course want to ensure the safety and well-being of said volunteers. To that extent, volunteers that are aged 13 - 15 will need to volunteer with their parent or guardian that is at least 18. Volunteers aged 16 - 17 will need to have their parents sign a waiver first and add them as a minor to express their permission. Volunteers 18+ will just need to have a current waiver on file! If you have any questions specifically, please feel free to reach out to nramos@riversportokc.org.
