Good news. Getting young folks canoeing is like planting seedlings. Plant them now and years from now you hope to see them grow and flourish.

I am taking 5 boys in a couple of weeks ages 8,10,10,12 and 13. For three of them, it will be their 3rd year, for one his 5th and the other, his 6th. That should lower the average a bit. I'll be renting a canoe from Ely Outfitters (Jason who is mentioned in this article)

One of the best things that I can pass down to these boys is the appreciation of such a wonderful place, protected for their children-hopefully.

That's awesome Soledad!

It's also great to hear that summer camp enrollments are up. I think camp is one of the best experiences kids can have. Helps them learn to be both self reliant away from their parents and to get along in a another living group.
I sure loved it.

Blue Skies!

The river calmly flows, Through shining banks, through lonely glen, Where the owl shrieks, though ne'er the cheer of men Has stirred its mute repose, Still if you should walk there, you would go there again.
