Kayaking for Adults

**Please Note! Due to some conflicts with the Forest Preserves schedule, the date for this program has changed. It is no longer on August 1st, and will now take place on July 25th.**

 

Get on the water with us! We'll be heading to the Forest Preserve of DuPage County to learn how to kayak with their rangers. No experience necessary!

 

The Park District recommends: Please pack your snack, lunch and water bottle, and dress appropriately for the water. We will be going onto a lake – while lifejackets are provided, knowing how to swim is important for your own safety.
