Double sessions- Anya Sachs

This year, I decided to sign up for sessions 1 and 2 of keeners, it was a last minute decision influenced by my friends. I'm currently wrapping up my fifth week of keeners this year. Doing two sessions definitely has its positives and negatives. The biggest drawback for me is eating pretty much the same food every day for 6 weeks. They feed us pretty well up here, but dinner at wilderness tours, and the same lunch on the river every day starts to get tiresome. I also miss my life at home a bit. However, I am definitely happy I did two sessions. By the end of the first session, I was not ready to go home, the first three weeks just seemed to fly by. I also get to meet more new people to paddle with in the first and second sessions. The river level changed a lot throughout my time here, so there are different features to play on then at the beginning of the summer, which means that I can't get bored. If you're up for the challenge of 6 weeks on the Ottawa, I would definitely recommend a double session.
