Last week of keeners :(

So today is the last week of keeners and all of the girls just figured out that we are all getting Ben Marr t-shirts!! We are all so excited,(hopefully he isn't reading this) but he is our idol! For those of you that don't know, Ben Marr is an amazing kayaker and last session he was a keener coach!

On another note today we went cliff jumping testing out the safest ways to jump off cliffs and some fun front and back flips. Today it was speech  night and one of the prompts was "name a memorable moment" and I was thinking about it and realized that there are so many amazing moments that I couldn't pick one! This made me realize that I really don't want to leave keeners! Anyway this is my last blog until next year bye for now!!

Thanks to everyone for all their help and to my parents for letting me come and play!!

keeners session 2 week 2

hi my name is calista and this is my second blog this session for Keeners. This is my second year at Keeners and iI have to say that it has been amazing! Today we  ran the main channel like we do every day but today we did something a little different: Instead of just running the rapids or surfing waves, we squeezed our boats and oursleves under a log to practice going under them. This helps us learn the saftey of which logs are safe and which ones are not. Today we also  had a chance to learn about the saftey of lighting , what to do and where to go if there is lightning on the river, or if you're stuck in a situation where most lighting is most likley to hit. At the end of tonight we had speech night. My topic was on ear infections. Tomorrow we are going to the movies to see Batman. Thats all for this week, I will blog again next monday
