Wet Planet’s Kids Kayaking Course Day 4

The final day came so quickly . . .

Day 4

Right away, we loaded up and headed for the river . . .

We hit the Lower White Salmon again today. The kids were so excited to run the “Cave wave” rapid again. This day, we worked on communicating on the river through paddle signals - the kids made it down through the rapids by watching the directions from their instructors. They all styled every class II rapid. Once down at the lake, the kids wanted to play “Piano Keys” again - I think this was their favorite game. So, we ended the course with more games and a few “wet exits”.

The course flew by. . . the games we played as well as the skills we taught made time fly. As they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” Hopefully, we can plan for a longer course next year.

We finished the day with a pizza party with the parents, a certificate awards ceremony and our farewells. What a great four days.

My “Reflection” on the course coming soon . . . hope you’ve enjoyed this so far.

    There are few things I enjoy more than spending time with kids on the river. Looks like they were having a blast! :-)
