Day Pack – Stand Up Paddleboard Adventure

Overview

Try out everyone’s new favorite paddle sport – Stand Up Paddleboarding! One of the fastest growing outdoor activities, Stand Up Paddleboarding is a super fun way to explore the natural, nautical world. We’ll take you to one of our favorite local spots and spend the day learning and exploring! First thing, we’ll go over the basics of paddling and standing up on the board, then we’ll take our picnic lunch, and take a tour of the local reservoir. By the end of the day, we know you’ll be as hooked as we are for Stand Up Paddleboarding. S’UP!

What to Expect

You’ll meet your fellow paddlers at Mountain Shepherd’s gorgeous 100-acre campus.  After packing a lunch for the water, we’ll load up in Mountain Shepherd’s van (Dora the Explorer!) and shuttle you to your paddling destination. After a fun filled day on the water, we’ll shuttle you back to Mountain Shepherd. All gear and safety equipment is provided for the day.
