Kayak the Summer Solstice
Kayak the Summer Solstice
Experience a once-a-year natural event in a kayak. Enjoy a leisurely paddle, then come together right at the moment of the Sun’s annual summer solstice to celebrate connection with a paddler’s game. Beginners welcome. Paddles, kayaks, and lifejackets provided.
A limited amount of mounted angled oars or wrist-grip paddle adaptations available for use. Would you need to reserve adaptive paddling equipment to participate in this program? Call 810-227-8917 or email [email protected]. Participants should be familiar with using the equipment because we will not have staff available to assist with transfers into and out of kayaks or to instruct using adaptive equipment. You can learn more about these at https://www.metroparks.com/kensington-metropark/#accessibility.
What to Expect:

Ages: Adults 18 and up.
Time: 10 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.
Cost: $35 per adult
Location: Kensington Metropark, Boat Rental launch area

A few reminders to make our float as comfortable as possible:
- Temperatures may be warm, so please bring a water bottle, and sunscreen or a hat.
- Do not wear cotton clothing or jeans. We are anticipating a leisurely paddle, however there is always a small risk of getting wet when on a boat. Cotton holds water, keeping you cold, wet, and uncomfortable if you happen to splash yourself or fall in. Additionally, please wear shoes that can get wet.
- If you registered a friend, don't forget to forward this information to them!
