I managed to nail my white water roll a lot, practiced on using patience when flipped over to roll and overall gained more confidence on the Ottawa. I even got to go down the main channel, which now is more of a fun thing to go down rather than a scary thing to be afraid of. I also didn't flip on Big water beat-down Thursdays! Despite the fact it would have gained a lot of points for the Harry Potter week theme if I did get beat down, me and Isaiah did some scouting and managed to find the best lines down upper McCoy's, which turned out to be a blast. Pretty much, thanks to practicing and listening to the instructors, I managed to gain more confidence on the river, with surfing and rolling.

| Running the Phils Touge on Thursday. |
Meanwhile, during the week, we did loads of other fun activities, including the Harry Potter week. We split into different houses/groups for the week and gained points from challenges and competitions which leads to one house winning a prize. I was part of Slytherin, which won the prize this week. We also did a few field trips from the 2nd week, we went to the Pembrooke mall to go see Despicable Me 2 and shopped at
Walmart. On Friday, we went to the Beachburg Fair after kayaking, I went on a couple of rides and watched a bit of the demolition derby event happening. Overall, it was a really fun week, I improved on the water and I had fun going on the trips.
Now that there is only one more week, this is probably my last blog post. I had a great time with the kayaking, and I really enjoyed talking with a lot of the instructors and other campers. It was interesting going through this experience that I probably wouldn't have the chance to do elsewhere. Thanks to everyone who made this unforgettable.
2/3 done.
