OKCSPS is one of over 450 Squadrons of the USPS® (United States Power Squadrons), whose common goal is to Promote Boating Safety through Education. We are ONE of FIVE Power Squadrons in District 31 (D31).

We are a family of Sail and Power boaters. We want more knowledge about being safe while having fun on our boats. As a member of The OKCSPS, that want is satisfied.

We hold Monthly OPEN Members' Meetings, the 1st (normally) Monday of each month, to take care of Squadron business. This is where we coordinate all of our efforts (e.g., plans for our "do it from a boat" fun stuff that occurs during our boating season).
