DAILY CANOE CAMP for kids aged 9 - 15
Offered in different one week sessions throughout the summer, canoe camp is held daily from 9am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Participants learn how to paddle both canoes and kayaks spending a majority of their day on the New River. Along with basic paddling techniques, campers will learn how to handle a boat in many situations on the river, including what to do if the boat tips over. Campers will also learn about the ecology and dynamics of the New River through learning sessions with New River State Park rangers and staff from the National Committee for the New River. At the end of the week, campers will be joined by their families for a paddling trip on the river so that they can demonstrate their new skills, followed by a family BBQ. Maximum number of participants is 8.
