Canoe trips "Rock"

Coed Canoe Camp - July 13-17, 2008

Here is a look at life on the Peace River. Campers spend their first night on the Lake Aurora campus then travel to the Peace River on Monday. Monday & Tuesday night are spent on the river banks in tents, returning to Lake Aurora for Wednesday night dinner and debriefing. Campers experience approximately 30 paddling miles over the course of the trip. A Red Cross certified lifeguard accompanies every trip for swimming and general safety.

Canoe trips are awesome!
