Join us to experience nature from the water. Participants will develop paddling skills while exploring nature. Gain experience using kayaks, canoes and stand up paddleboards.

Paddle with us at Independence Grove Forest Preserve while learning the ecology of our local waterways. Over three days, participants develop their paddling skills and explore nature while using solo kayaks, tandem canoes and stand up paddleboards (SUP). Learn about native aquatic plants and animals while having lots of water-based fun. Beginner level.

This program is for children ages 12-14 by the first day of the program.

We design our lessons, activities, and topics to specific age groups to maximize their Summer Adventure experience. Due to this thoughtful strategy, we are unable to make age exceptions.

This is a 3 day program (Mon-Wed).
