NOTE: Some web-based event calendars are showing a CAOC orienteering
meet in Miami Woods in Morton Grove on Sat. June 28th. Unfortunately,
we do not have any such event scheduled this year. (July 12th
is also a non-event.) Our next event is the Canoe-O on July

Start practicing your paddling! The annual Canoe-O is coming
the last Sunday in July. You are welcome and encouraged to
bring your own canoe or kayak. As in the past, we will be
offering canoe rentals. E-punch will be used, so expect to
cross the lake more than once on the long course! Additional
details and pre-registration will be available after the July
4th holiday weekend.
