Why Kayaking the Ottawa for Weeks Straight Never Gets Old by Jake Elder

At first look a program where you kayak the same river  everyday all day for three weeks straight seems like it  could get a little monotonous. But keeners never fails to amaze me at how in my two years at keeners I've never had the same day on the river twice. Every day has its own special theme which keeps you always looking gorewatd to something. For instance there is race day Wednesday, big water beat down Thursday, and funky fresh freestyle Friday. Also there are two stretches of the river that keeners run, the middle channel and the main channel. There are many different play spots and fun rapids on each and at every water level. In addition to being able to paddle some of the best white water in the world we get to learn important things like first aid, swift water rescue, and knots for gnar. I hold keeners near and dear to my heart and I can safely say I've never been bored at keeners.
