this goal are to assure you are using a proper fitting paddle
and to perform strokes more efficiently. In this session Danny
will discuss low angle and high angle paddling styles, paddle
fit options, lengths and materials to help prescribe the perfect

fitting paddle, we can perform these strokes using less energy
and obtain better boat control.
Stand Up for Yourself: An Intro to Stand Up Paddling
Stand Up Paddling is so much more than a surfing sport. Stand
up paddlers are bringing the sport to the lakes and rivers all
around us in the Midwest. In this session, you’ll discover why
stand up paddling is becoming so popular, what it’s all about
and how easy it is for you to get started. Danny will take you
through an interactive seminar on the techniques used in “SUP,”
the gear needed and a bit on the history of the sport. Bring an
open mind to try something new and get ready to have fun.

Quetico's Ice Age Legacy
Quetico’s landscape is dominated by bedrock and
glacial till left behind after the retreat of glaciers
about 12,000 years ago, and its numerous lakes
surrounded by high cliffs with their shorelines
of boulders and glacial till are remnants of this
glacial past. As the glacier receded, much of Quetico
was submerged under glacial Lake Agassiz, and the land was
covered in tundra vegetation. The Paleo-Indians who moved
into this landscape scoured by glacial ice were Quetico’s
first explorers. Today’s canoeists cross portages and sleep on
campsites that were first used by Native People who have lived
in Quetico since the glacier's retreat. Jon will introduce you to
Quetico’s glacial past, its long and varied human history, and
the diverse plant and animal life found in today’s Quetico.
