The Chill Foundation\u2019s 2017 Stand-Up Paddleboarding Program Has Launched!<\/strong>
\nChill to run two six-week programs on Lake Champlain<\/em><\/p>\n

The sun is out, and so is Chill! Chill Burlington\u2019s summer stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) programs are in full swing, serving more than 30 area youth from select youth service agencies in the greater Burlington area. Groups will participate in daily lessons before heading out on the water to practice their new skills, while Chill takes care of all equipment and lesson needs free-of-charge. Daily themes include patience, persistence, responsibility, courage, respect, and pride. Each lesson is paired with an activity that translates directly to their experience on the water. For some participants, this is their first time getting out on the lake.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a great group of participants this year, and I\u2019m excited to see them grow and develop over the six sessions,\u201d said Zack Engler, Chill Burlington Manager. \u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to watch everyone take the daily lesson we learn on land and apply it to their time on the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burlington\u2019s programming will run on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in July and August at the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center on the Burlington Waterfront.<\/p>\n

In addition to its program in Burlington, Vermont, the Chill Foundation also operates programming in 12 other cities across North America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
