Event details
Enjoy a perfect evening on the waters of Whalon Lake while the peak of the Perseids meteor shower dazzles overhead. Watch the sunset and listen to the natural sounds as they evolve from day into night. You might even get lucky and catch some shooting stars. Once off the water, bring your drink of choice (beer and wine only, please, for alcoholic beverages) and enjoy it around a campfire with s’mores.
All equipment is provided. Personal kayaks are welcome. Wear clothing that can get wet, including water shoes or old gym shoes.
We offer private, one-on-one instruction. If interested, call 815-722-4121.
