This monthly LGBTQ+ program is open to community members and allies, for adults ages 18 or older. Each month features a different theme, giving participants the chance to explore a variety of adventures in recreation while exploring (new) hobbies or interests. Come try something new, meet people with shared interests and enjoy community in an inclusive environment!
Join OAC staff at Belle Isle Park for an introduction to kayaking before setting out on the beautiful canals. We will meet at the Flynn Pavilion to be outfitted with equipment (one-person kayak, lifejacket and paddle) and receive instruction from Simple Adventures. Once we launch, we will be out on the water for about one hour. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided to participants upon return to shore. This is a safe space for LGBTQ+ community members and allies.
Participants must be age 18 or older.
Participants should dress for outdoor activities.
This program will run unless there is inclement weather. Registered participants will be notified.
This program is subject to cancellation if minimum attendance is not met.
