Get ready to make a splash and create some sun-soaked memories this June. According to an announcement from Scott County, kayak lovers—and newcomers—can look forward to an exciting outing at Cleary Lake. Scheduled for Sunday, June 22, from 10 AM to noon, the Outdoor Recreation School is set to host a kayaking event that aims to teach participants the ropes of this invigorating water sport.
The session is not just about awkwardly paddling around; rather, it's designed to properly brief attendees on kayaking safety and the correct paddling techniques. This is a chance to finally learn to not just kayak, but to kayak well, under the guidance of seasoned instructors. And for those worried about showing up empty-handed, fret not. Equipment will be provided, so all you need to bring is a willingness to learn and maybe a good sun hat.
For those eager to dip their paddles into this adventure, there's a catch: reservations are required, and they need to be made at least two days in advance. The cost of entry is a reasonable $20, making it accessible for a broad range of enthusiasts. If you're interested in joining, you can secure your spot by dialing 763-559-6700. The county emphasizes that this program is suitable for ages 10 and up, so it's a fantastic opportunity to get the older kids involved in a new outdoor activity.
As we look ahead to these picturesque days spent on Cleary Lake, it's easy to, for a moment, forget to adequately prepare—don't. Be sure to call in soon to reserve your place; these events have a way of filling up quickly. Looking to master the basics, or spend a couple of hours soaking in the serenity of the lake? Either way, gear up for an engaging day led by instructors who genuinely know their stuff. More information can be found by visiting Scott County's official website.
