Since we will no longer be bringing a gun on our trip… we replaced the gun safety training with a paddle on the Sauk River. It was a great opportunity to get familiar with river features and incorporate some new paddle strokes into our practice. We worked on eddying in and out, ferrying, and maneuvering around rocks. For most of the girls, it seemed like it was their first time being introduced to some of these concepts, and the Sauk was the perfect place to start! Can’t wait to see them tackle real whitewater on the Missinaibi!
