What is community? In the Keeners program in Ottawa, Canada, community is based around a number of things. Kayaking, competition, and even dinner are just some factors that create a strong bond within the Keeners. Everyone has accepted that no matter the skill level of an individual. Everyone has come to the camp for the sole purpose of getting better and has made sure not to be judgmental of each others abilities. Everyone encourages each other to push their boundaries and despite their nervousness above a given rapid or possibly above a hole, cheers each other on for the confidence boost they need.
Both on the river and off, everyone knows the importance of comfortability within our community. Every keener has tried their best to get to know their peers on a personal level within just the first week.
In the Keener program, each and every Keener knows just how much community means and how to improve it. Every Keener and Coach have established bonds to ensure that by the end of these 3 weeks, we feel more like family than just friends.
