How to be a Keener-By:Andrew Burgoyne

How to be a keener

Step one: You need a keener shirt

The keener shirt is a reflection on wilderness tours. You want to wear it proudly and respectfully.

Step two: meet the coaches

Their is Anna Bruno, Steven Wright,   Clay Wright, Dane Jackson, Dren Orton, Nick Troutmen. So you have met the coaches

Step three: The next day. 

So you wake up at keeners and you have a kitchen that you share with some people, if you are with good people they will make breakfast for everyone eating with you. So some great breakfasts to make are Pancakes with eggs and bacon. 

Once you are done breakfast the people that didn't cook get to clean the dishes. Don't eat and leave do the dishes. 

Step four: Go Kayaking

So after all the breakfast you need to go to the thunder dome, Anna or Steven will tell you what you what we would be doing for the day. After everyone races to everything be last in the water because if you are last in the water then you get to wear the water wing of shame. 

Step five: Lunch

Finely food. So you would be stoping at the lunch site and you ether can cook lunch for everyone or you can get food that other people made for you. I do cook for everyone because one you stay warm back there and two we say "give more then you take." I love that saying and I agree with it witch I love cooking for everyone in keeners and the raft trip. Just before you leave you need you pick up at least 10 peaces or trash.

Step Six: getting off the water

Once you get to the takeout you can do two things one do flat water tricks or two get out of your boat brig it up to the Trailer and load all the boats. It didn't sound fun but you learn how to load a trailer and you could be invited to go on trips with you because you know how to load the boats the right way.

 Step seven: off the water 

So now you are off the water and now people will start to unload the trailer and when your boat comes down you grab your boat and paddle and you put it in the boat rack that we have. After you go to your room get changed and ready for dinner. You will need your keener shirt of sweatshirt. Once you get back you can have some free time where you can watch a movie or make a video edit or text/ call your parents or friends. Until 10:15pm. At 10:15 you will go back to your room and get ready for bed.

That is most of the things that happiness at keeners.
