Wet Exit Kayak Rescues

***Please note that using this Facebook Event page to indicate you are going does not mean you are registered for the event. You must register by using the link or calling the number below.***

Take your kayaking to the next level by learning a variety of rescues with certified paddling instructors. We will demonstrate and practice self rescues as well as cooperative rescues. Learn about the different types of kayaks and what makes some easier to enter from the water than others.

We will have time to try all our safety rescue equipment, and there is the option to bring your own boat to see how you and your own kayak perform in various scenarios.

Registration required by Wednesday, July 23, by calling 815-722-4121 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9633?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true

Dress for immersion with shoes and clothes that can get wet. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and water. Previous kayaking experience is required as instruction will focus on rescues not basic paddling skills.

Whalon Lake has trailer parking and a paved boat launch. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online ( https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
