The Outdoor UW team has launched its summertime experiences in downtown Madison, including new services and events.
It will offer its traditional summer paddling rentals, including single and tandem kayaks, canoes, and one-person and eight-person stand-up paddleboards; event traditions, such as Family Nights on Lake Mendota and yoga classes in partnership with University Recreation and Wellbeing; and storage of privately-owned kayaks and canoes.
New to Outdoor UW’s offerings are hiking trips that end with beverages at the Memorial Union Terrace; paddling lessons; paddling excursions to Picnic Point along Lake Mendota’s shore; custom outdoor learning opportunities; rentals of a 6-foot by 9-foot floating swim pad; and rentals of new sleeping bags suitable for temperatures as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
The team also expanded its Lake Mendota-facing live music event series, called Lakefront Live, which it presents in collaboration with the student-led Wisconsin Union Directorate Music Committee.
Additional information about offerings and events is available online.
