For
nearly two decades the Quiet Water Symposium has celebrated
non-motorized outdoor recreation and a shared concern for
our Great Lakes environment. Last year nearly 2000 persons
attended this annual event. This year’s program will feature
seminars by noted outdoor authors Kevin Callan, Cliff
Jacobson and Doc Fletcher. In addition to these seminars
will be interactive displays manned by knowledgeable
enthusiasts and experts on topics such as wooden boat
building, camp cooking, cycling, kayaking and protecting our
watersheds and environment. The exhibition hall will hold
many vendors and outfitters all available to help you chose
the right gear, adventure location or classes with which to
get the proper start.
This year’s symposium will include a special presentation on
exploring Lake Michigan by dugout canoe as well as featuring
lectures and seminars from noted outdoor authors, Gary and
Joanie McGuffin. Dr. Erin Howard will instruct us on K-9
First Aid in the field. Boat building and restoration
demonstrations will be given by Mackinaw Watercraft and
Columbia Wooden Boat Works. Other areas of interest will be
spotlighted by the MSU Sailing Club, Cycling Clubs, Quiet
World Sports and many environmental groups.
The Quiet Water Society, sponsor of the symposium has
promoted non-consumptive outdoor activities and sports since
before it was the “in” thing to do. Our commitment to
conservation education allows more than 40 non-profit groups
to participate on a no-charge basis. We invite everyone to
come to the MSU Pavilion and find hundreds of ways to
enhance your outdoor experience. Get an early jump on your
summer by attending. For more information on the Quiet Water
