Kayaking at the Forest Preserves

Paddle your heart out with us at the Forest Preserves of DuPage County!

We’re taking some kayaks around the lake and enjoying a day out on the water. After, we’ll steady our sea legs by some hiking around the forest preserve. All ranges of ability are welcome, from beginners to experienced boaters.

Transportation, boat rental, and life jackets are provided. Please bring your own snack, lunch, and water bottle.

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

Recycled Mixed Media August 11

We all know there is too much waste in our world. Plastics, fabrics, scrap metal and electronics litter our parks and our homes. Join us as we combine these materials with classic art supplies to create unique pieces of mixed media art. Participants are welcome to bring in their own collections to add to our supply or turn old toys/junk drawn finds into new pieces.
