  2.  New Summer Event-Paddle, Pinot and Porter; sea kayaking in the Apostle Islands.

Our Club has organized a new, fun event for this summer through Wilderness Inquiry. We have reserved space for a thrilling adventure from Thursday July 18th – Sunday July 21st, 2024: Paddle, Pinot and Porter Kayak/Camp trip on Lake Superior/ Apostle Islands National Seashore Area near Bayfield, WI. By day it’s sea kayaking while exploring the islands and sea caves and in the evening exploring local wineries and breweries. A trip made for this Club!!!

We have reserved a ‘pod’ of platform tents (cots on a platform covered by a tent) in the private Wilderness Inquiry owned Little Sand Bay Base Camp area that includes showers, toilet facilities, campfire area, covered pavilion, indoor space and more for our Club. There is room for 12 people. The cost is $745 and includes the facilities, equipment (e.g. kayaks, life jackets, tents, etc), 2 guides and most of the food for the 4 day/3 night adventure. You are responsible for your own transportation to and from Bayfield, WI and we’ll try to connect those interested in carpooling. All you need to bring is your personal items including appropriate clothing, a camera and an adventurous spirit!
