This is alternate content. Please update your Macromedia Flash Player.
IMAGE CAPTION - Campers develop their canoeing skills on Lake Doris, then head out to rivers in the nearby mountains.
IMAGE CAPTION - Canoeing meets at the Canoe Dock.
Our North Carolina mountains are teeming with some of the most exciting white water in the world. However, before a girl is ready to enjoy our rivers she must learn the basics on, and sometimes in, our lake. Here she will learn balance, self rescues, strokes and draws, and perhaps most importantly, teamwork. Of course all of this is done with an eye to having fun as instruction is organized into games like canoe baseball or swamp wars.
IMAGE CAPTION - Still water, big smiles.
Once these basics are mastered our best swimmers and paddlers can move out to some of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Carefully planned days on the Green, Tuckaseegee, Pigeon, Nantahala, and French Broad rivers are the reward for hard work and fun afternoons on the lake.
