River Paddling

On my trip I was paired with Kaelen, together we learned how to ferry, and master our flat water skills, the trip was fun but we almost went in about 4 times. Kaelen and I showed the importance of avoiding sweepers and strainers by going into them and showing what not to do. Jack was a good teacher and was very kind when we messed up and that made it a good overall day.

Were there outstanding students at your station and why? We had a couple of kids who just knew everything we were talking about and then there were kids who got what we talked about but didn’t know when we started it really caught on and stayed. In our class the most outstanding student would have to be Owen he spoke up and took control of our group

What do you remember best from outdoor ed from this past year I don’t get the question if your asking what I remembered,I remember the struggle before our wetland  interpretation trip when we had so many projects to hand in. We had our posters, flash cards,presentations and much more and the stress kept building up on top of the pile of work we had. It if your asking my favourite moment it would have to be the final canoe trip when we stopped and swan just having fun pushing each other in and the wet sandy mud in between my toes.

Megan was a good partner and helped me get those projects in sooner and helped me improve them. This was challenging for me because I get stressed out and anxious very easily and this was a lot for me. 3.What did you find intere
