Snap like a champ with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a two-hour photography course and photo walk at Ira Nicolai Photography (a $134.40 value).

Ira Nicolai or one of her seasoned sharpshooters guides photographers through the functions and potential of their digital camera. During the one-hour Q&A session, students cradle their cameras while learning about technical niceties such as presets, scene modes, light meter, image exposure, and creative exposure control. Detailed handouts ensure that rookie mistakes stay safely reserved for the chemistry lab, even after bringing home a battalion of new skills. After the course, newly mighty image capturers roam the wild as Ira Nicolai, a former stock-agency art director, or her deputy leads the pack through the landscape to snap plant-mating scenes with new confidence. Enroll online in weekend or weeknight classes. Groupon holders also receive a 10% discount on Ira Nicolai Photography’s other services.

Go-kart racing enables adults to redeem themselves after sixth-graders beat them in an integral calculus duel. Assert adult achievements with today’s Groupon to F440 Racing Challenge, located in Tsawwassen. Choose between the following options:

  • For $19, you get 20 minutes of go-karting (a $40 value).
  • For $50, you get 15 minutes of family go-karting for two adults and two children (a $100 value).

F440 Racing Challenge’s course runs more than 1 kilometre in length, with 17 challenging and contrasting corners. Solo drivers aged 16 and older commandeer a kart from F440’s eclectic inventory of club karts, and speedsters as young as 8 years old start with kiddie karts, which reach more than 40 kilometres per hour. Families looking to spend quality trash-talking time together step into double karts. Miniature motorists then nourish the belly’s competitive fire, zooming past lesser motorists along thrillingly tight hairpins. An acceleration-inducing S-curve decreases the time needed to achieve wind-blown hair, and a diverse dispersal of decreasing radius turns upholds excitement throughout the adventure. Even the most skilled of motorists pay reverence to this admirable and complex track, offering bittersweet thanks during gold-cup acceptance speeches and heavy traffic. After redeeming their Groupon, buyers can race the rest of the day at a special rate of $15 per 20 minutes.

Motorists may manoeuvre the twists and turns of this track seven days a week, rain or shine. The 4,000-square-foot clubhouse contains a 1,500-square-foot viewing deck, a TV, and a snack shack for fuelling skeletal frames running on empty. Chomp on chips, cool off with ice-cream bars, or fill up on the true snack of champions—winning.

For dessert, a sour-cherry-and-red-wine reduction cascades down vanilla-bean mascarpone whip and candied pastry in a ciliege filate.
