Exciting programs and events planned at Kennisis Lake Marina this summer!

In 2021, “ KennisIS All of Us” survey,  identified a number of programming activities that responders would like to see happening in the Community.  The Kennisis Lake Marina has answered that call.
 
With the installation of its new Event Tent, the  Marina will be the go-to destination for music, events, and programs. Marina owners, Gary Bouwmeister, Jim Dale and Chad Burdon are installing a 40-foot by 60-foot tent, which should be ready this May.  The tent is located right next to the Pickle Ball Courts and can accommodate up to 200 people.   The tent is available to rent for community events and private functions. 
 
The first musical event, “Sheer Heart Attack”- celebrating the music of Queen, was sold out in less than a day, with additional tickets being added for outdoor seating. 
 
Sue Bin, a long-time Kennisis Lake cottager and teacher will be running Camp Kennisis, a day camp for kids 5-11 yrs. old.  The 3-day- a- week camp will be run for 6 sessions, beginning the week of July 11th. The programs will include crafts, activities, and pickleball. For information and registration, please contact Sue at suecampk@gmail.com
 
Art classes and workshops will take place every Friday during July and August. Joyce Sumara, artist and Kennisis Lake cottager, along with local artist Harvey Walker will host a variety of programs for all levels. For details go to http://artinthetent.corsizio.com/
 
Local Yoga instructor Lorrie McCauley will be offering yoga classes Sundays to Thursdays. Sessions are available at both the advanced level (with modifications offered) as well as beginner/relaxing yoga. Classes will be offered in 8 class packages or pay as you go.
