FoxWorx started as Camp Paddles in the late 1960's by Al and Joan Camp. Al was a marathon canoe racer and built his own racing canoes and paddles. He then started selling them to other racers.
We (Dale and Bev Fox and our sons Liam and Andy) bought the business in 1996 and moved it to Bainbridge. I started my interest in canoeing in the early 70's when I worked at Grumman's Canoe assembling aluminum canoes. I began flatwater canoe racing then and still enjoy it today. Our family also loves to canoe camp and have paddled many miles in the Adirondacks (our favorite spot) and many other rivers in the Northeast.
Our sons enjoy canoe racing and Andy has guided BSA canoe trips through the Adirondacks for the last few years and now works for Placid Boatworks building canoes.
Our paddles are handmade with the best materials we can find. Most of the lumber used is harvested locally in upstate New York. We still use Al Camp's original designs for the Standard and Standard Lightweight paddles combined with newer composites for tougher paddles. All our other paddles use our own designs based on our 30+ years of paddling experience. The basswood shafts on FoxWorx Paddles have a warm comfortable feel and the blades are designed for a quiet entry with a solid catch and stiff power phase.
FoxWorx is located in the upper Susquehanna River Valley and is within an hour of 6 different rivers and 2 hours of the Adirondacks. If you are passing by, stop in and we will let you know where some of our favorite spots are. Enough web surfing....now go out and paddle
See you on the water. .
