1. What equipment is available for rental?
This perhaps is the wrong question. The better question would be, what sort of opportunities are available for rent? Or, “How can Outdoor Rec change my life?” Or even, “How can Outdoor Recreation change my life with healthy life-long recreation opportunities?” The shortlist would look something like this: Kayaks, Canoes, StandUp Paddleboards, Mountain Bikes, Snowboards, Ski Apparel, Snowshoes, Trekking poles, Bounce Castles, Fest Tables, Canopies, Bean Bag Toss and Tug O War Ropes. Additionally, endless activities and travel opportunities abound.
