Advice for a Returning Keener by Evan Bate

This is my second year at keeners, I have learned a few things. First thing I realized is that some things will be different and you just have to roll with it. This year some of the rules we different and I had a new cabin. We also have a new “keener mom”. Some changes I did expect were the water level to be different and for the other keeners to be different. So far this year the water level is a few feet higher than last year. This means that many of the rapids are different than when I was here last. Also all but one of the keener were not in my last season, but they are still just as awesome as last year. It’s also helpful to know what to and what not to bring. This year I bought some extra snacks and I chose not to bring my drone. We have the same coaches as last year but one extra this year. So don’t expect everything to be the same and you will have a great time again.
