Paddle, Power and Sail Lake Winnebago
Small Boat Educational Excursions are seminars on the
water that last about 2 hours. Financial scholarships are
available. The seminars take place "rain or shine." If it rains
the boat may stay at the dock. If there is lightning, we will
seek shelter on shore. (All participants must sign a waiver
of liability form.)
