Canoeing with Style

The grace of quietly slipping a paddle into the water to confidently move a canoe across a lake or down a river is a quintessential Northwoods experience. By learning the finer points of a few different paddling strokes, you’ll be able to steer the boat where you want instead of having the boat take you for a ride. We’ll start on the Lake Julia Terrace overlooking the lake on the Nicolet Campus and go over all the introductory skills necessary to have a safe and enjoyable canoeing experience. Then we’ll take to the scenic lake to practice the techniques learned on land. Instruction will be provided for both solo and tandem canoeing.
