This is AWESOME!! Alexandria Community Education has an Outdoor Gear Rental Program for yard games and camping gear to aqua mats, bikes, and kayaks.
Most rentals are available for $5 or less, making it a great option for families, graduation parties, weekend adventures, lake days, camping trips, or just trying something new without a big investment.

Why buy outdoor gear you may only use a few times a year when you can rent it instead?

Alexandria Community Education’s Outdoor Gear Rental Program makes it easy and affordable to enjoy the outdoors without the extra clutter or cost. From yard games and camping gear to aqua mats, bikes, and kayaks, there are plenty of ways to get outside and make the most of Minnesota’s warmer months.

Most rentals are available for $5 or less, making it a great option for families, graduation parties, weekend adventures, lake days, camping trips, or just trying something new without a big investment.

Gear can be picked up and dropped off at Shenanigans Indoor Playground, with bike and kayak rentals also available at Brophy Park.
