For the four-day camp, the first day will be spent on the Cascade Lakes learning basic paddle strokes and playing kayaking games that will help improve paddling skills. Tuesday will be spent learning bracing, self-rescues and rolling techniques in the pool and then the group will move onto sections of the river in Bend for the afternoon. On Wednesday the class will take their boats down the Deschutes from Warm Springs to Trout Creek. During this time on the river, kids will learn how to control their boat in the current and to maneuver from one part of the river to another. Skills include moving in and out of eddies, surfing waves and ferrying across the river. Kids will spend their final day of camp out on the McKenzie bringing all their skills together and enjoying one of the most beautiful stretches of river in Central Oregon.
