In 2016, we are expanding our Outings Program to include canoeing, kayaking, and paddle board water sports. Excursions will be scheduled on Big Bear Lake, surrounding lakes, and other waterways such as Newport Harbor. These activities are fair weather events, so the summer months will be the busiest. These activities are open to individuals and families.
