Some fun parts of camp planning

We've learned over the past couple of years, that whenever we're planning a youth event, we should have as good an idea as possible of what's involved. Right now we're planning a youth camp for a couple of weeks from now - which includes an option for canoeing. We had heard about canoeing the Harrison River, but hadn't actually done that ourselves yet, so we decided to go out on Saturday with a few of the others involved in planning and see what it was all about. We put our canoes in at Harrison Lake, and then paddled down the river for about 17km to Kilby. It was a fantastic trip! Beautiful scenery, and a fun group to hang out with for the day.

We did meet up with a bit of wind, so there was some harder paddling - but not all of it was intense paddling - as you can see from the pictures :).

We found a great little spot overlooking the river to eat lunch.

Hopefully the campers that sign up for canoeing enjoy it as much as we did!!
