LOAPC is a 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation formed in 1988 to promote interest in all aspects of human-powered watercraft in the mid-Michigan area. LOAPC has been actively involved in the greater Lansing community on river clean-ups and river-related projects. For the past 24 years, LOAPC has provided opportunities for people interested in canoeing and kayaking to meet other people with the same interests and grow and develop their sport. LOAPC sponsored the creation of the Quiet Water Symposium in 1996 until it formed the Quiet Water Society in 2007. LOAPC also shared membership with rowers in the greater Lansing area until they formed their own separate Lansing Rowing Club in 2007.
