Penobscot Whitewater Girls Trip




Despite the rain, the girls' spirits are high. Yesterday(July 1) they paddled their first set of class III rapids and they all did so with smiles on their faces. The sun made an appearance that afternoon so we took advantage of the warmth and went for a group swim at our beach in front of the camp site. We have probably the best campsite on the whole river!! Overall the the trip has been fantastic. We are quickly turning this group of amazing young women into enthusiastic kayakers. We've already heard talk of, " I'm definitely going to do Umbagog next year", or " I'm gonna do Northeast rivers!!". A good sign that these girls are gung-ho about paddling.
The might Penobscot is our backyard and we are eagerly anticipating our trip to the Seboomook River in a couple of days.
