You will then learn the names of the parts of sail boats, take a lunch break, and then go over rigging a boat. We will also go over some safety rules and an overview of the week ahead with you.

(More ephasis will be placed on topics that you campers most enjoy.) Then we will join the other Full Day Camps on a group canoe or kayak trip and get more instruction along the way. Snacks and beverages are provided after the trip. It will be around 5pm, so we'll hang out playing games, fishing, or free paddle close to the park while kids get picked up.
