Courses:
 
Our goal is not to guide you around Pictured Rocks (I think Uncle Ducky’s has that cornered), we want to provide you with the skills and humility…which is the power of self-knowledge… to do that yourself. Having said that, we may as well learn and discover those things paddling around Pictured Rocks!
 
WEDNESDAY
Check in begins at 6:00 pm in the Community Center
 
THURSDAY
We will ALL play together in Grand Marais.   The morning we’ll paddle in randomly selected groups exploring the harbor while providing the info for you to make an informed choice as to what challenge level you want for the rest of the symposium.  During lunch we’ll form the pods for the rest of the weekend.   In the afternoon you’ll paddle in your pod and refining rescues and coming up with a plan for the following day.
 
FRIDAY and SATURDAY
These days we’ll be in our pods. Both days you’ll have your liaison coach plus a different visiting coach each day.
 
Destinations for your pod can be locally in and around Grand Marais Harbor, or to Pictured Rocks and Grand Island.
 
SUNDAY
We will be offering half day classes to include One on One coaching session, Personal Video Analysis, SUP and Paddling for FUN.
Check out the great line up of coaches you will have the opportunity to work with.
