On Sunday, August 15, JAC took to the water for JACFit’s Paddle and Picnic – the second in person event since the pandemic began last March. Partnering with SUP&FLOW, Shula Banchik educated the group on water safety, best practices, and the basics of stand up paddleboarding. After spending time playing on the water, the group enjoyed a picnic at the pond. For more information on JAC events, or to get involved, email Danielle.
