Event details

As the kids get back to school, close out the summer on the water at Monee Reservoir. Take in the peaceful views or challenge yourself with a water game as certified instructors guide you on a tour of the lake. Then end around a campfire to roast hot dogs and s’mores.

This is a recreational, non-instructional program using canoes and kayaks. All equipment is provided.
