Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. Having demonstrated calamitous capacities, this body of water has been deemed an inland sea. It is vital that we equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills to keep yourself safe out on the big lake, in the Apostle Islands, and beyond. The classroom portion of this course will provide participants with basic navigation skills, route-specific tips, introductory VHF radio communication skills, advice on when to/not to launch, insight into wildlife activity on the islands, and more. On the water, participants will sharpen their paddling skills by practicing basic paddle strokes, learning how to wet exit, performing paddle float self-rescues, and completing the partner t-rescue.
