I chose this class because I love outdoor recreation!

Why I chose this program:
This is a new program this year geared towards kids that are interested in outdoor recreation! It is a great way to spend your morning out of the river or lake paddling your kayak and hopefully catching some fish! There are 2 different options for this program, kayaking down the Fox River, or kayaking around Dunham Pond which could be easier for the younger or less experienced kayakers.
