Canoe Trip Canadice Lake


Today was a really cool day. We took a trip to Canadice Lake. There we met Bob and Jim our new teachers! We were going to be learning to canoe! When we got there we picked out a canoe and a partner. After learning some tips we set out on our journey. At first it was pretty hard but we soon got the hang of it. About two hours later we stopped for lunch. The tuna fish wraps filled our growling stomachs. Then Sam gave everyone a rock skipping lesson. We found a mystery gall and a dragonfly nymph case. When we decided it was time to leave we got back in our canoes and started to row out. But the wind had picked up and it was a lot harder. Many people got pushed to shore and one team even had to be towed by Bob and Lucas. When we finally got back to shore we were all soaked. After that we stopped for ice-cream and headed back for the institute. It was a very fun day.
