9th Annual Qajaq TC (a.k.a. Michigan Training Camp)
Qajaq TC has become one of the most sought after events on the schedule, primarily due to its intimate size (60 total), incredible venue (Lake Michigan) and enticing food . . . the epicurean qajaq classic! All skill levels are welcomed. We are pleased to have, as our special guest, Adam Hansen from Greenland. Adam has served as a board member of Qajaq Aasiaat, is a past participant in the Greenland National Kayaking Championships, and kayaking guide for the Aasiaat Tourist Service.
