Event Specifics:

All participants must wear closed-toe, closed-heel shoes like sneakers or boots with socks. Please dress with the weather in mind and prepare for rain as this is a rain or shine event.

This event includes a lunch break from 12:30 PM – 1:15 PM for all participants to sit, relax and enjoy your own B.Y.O.P. picnic lunch. Select a shady tree, under a pavilion, or next to the lake. ACTIVITIES WILL PAUSE DURING THE LUNCH BREAK. Bring coolers for your packed lunch, with camp chairs, blankets and whatever else your group will need.

Suggested essentials: bring a day bag (backpack) with a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, hat, and sunglasses as well as a packed lunch and snacks. For canoeing, we recommend water shoes or old sneakers as your feet will get wet.
