NCKC began with eight charter member-families and has grown over the years to a steady membership of about 100 families and is still continuing to grow. In addition, NCKC participates in other kite festivals, kite making workshops and special events. Monthly kite fly's are held at various sites ranging from Bodega Bay to Visalia and many places in between. General Membership meetings are held at the first and last kite fly's of each year. Anyone is welcome to participate in these meetings and are encouraged to submit agenda items in advance.
Managers are available at monthly fly's to discuss issues of interest to members.
The final kite fly and meeting of the year is held as a weekend camp-out in October, which includes a barbecue dinner and awards presentation. In December, NCKC celebrates the holidays with its annual pizza party and raffle. The newsletter provides members with information on upcoming events, news about past events and other information regarding kite-flying activities and issues of interest to local kite fliers. The Golden Gate Challenge is an annual sport kite competition held on Labor Day Weekend. The competition provides a venue for testing precision and ballet skills at all competitive sport-kiting levels, novice to masters.
