     I just wrapped up a four day Youth camp for the City of Folsom today.  We were in their pool for the whole class and only had the kids for an hour and a half each day, but we really tried to introduce them to the concepts of river running.  The ages ranged from 7 to 13 which is a major difference in physical capabilities.  And while the kids seemed to have endless supplies of energy I am definitely exhausted.  They seem to enjoy tipping their boats over even more than paddling them.  After draining out well over 100 boats in the four days I am very appreciative of the light weight of the
Jackson boats, especially the Fun 1’s and 1.5’s.  It was great to be able to use the Fun’s and size them to fit all the kids – and we could even size up for those that felt less stable (one of the 7 year olds actually loved the Punk Rocker the best).
