Groups
When you're into a given activity, it's nice to share it with other like-minded people. Since Canfield's is the place where many area folks like to get the equipment and supplies they need for their adventures, we thought we'd post contact info for various groups on our website. That way, interested individuals can have one spot on the web where they can find out what groups are out there and who to get in touch with for those groups.
We know of a few groups, but we'd love to hear from yours! If you are a part of an outdoor-themed group from this area, please send an e-mail to beth@canfields.net or call Beth at Canfield's at 402-393-3363 and tell her about your group. We'd love to add it to the Groups page on our site!
The following is only a partial list. Please check back often, since we hope to be adding many more groups in the future!

GO Scuba Club - GO stands for the Greater Omaha Scuba Club. This new club exists for the purpose of giving area divers a chance to get together to dive, swap dive stories, argue about what dive gear is best, brag, uh, tell about their last trip to an exotic dive location, find dive buddies, and more. Canfield's doesn't carry dive gear, but the editor of this website is a diver, so we're listing the club here! Check out the club's new website at go-scuba.net. And next time you're in the neighborhood of Canfield's, stop in at Underwater World Scuba Shop, just down the mall from Canfield's!
