River Runner Camp
A Specialty Camp – For seventh through twelfth graders.
Explore the wet and wild beauty of a river from a canoe or maybe even a kayak as you paddle down a river under the guidance of an experienced leader.
River Runner Camp begins on the grounds of Camp Appanoose with Captain Lowell’s fun and challenging canoeing clinic. From the camp you will travel to the top of a scenic river, use the canoe skills which you have developed at camp, and enjoy the unique experiences of river travel with confidence.
Skills you will learn in the camp’s canoeing clinic include:
- Equipment Usage and Care
- Paddle Strokes
- Reading A River
- Tenting and Camping Skills
- Negotiating Rapids
- River Safety
- Team Work
- Kayaking Techniques
River travel is never more fun than what you will experience at Camp Appanoose. It seems that a new adventure is waiting around every bend.
Maneuvering a canoe down a river, searching for wildlife, hiking a bluff, cooling off under a waterfall, lunch on a sandbar, a refreshing swim during a warm afternoon, or pausing for a historical sight are all experiences which will be long remembered.
