Last week I took a group of kids out kayaking to Lone Rock Point. We had light wind, clear, sunny skies and smooth waters when we headed out of the mooring field toward North Beach. It had been a while since I had been in a double kayak and I had forgotten the teamwork and synchronicity it takes to make the boat travel in a straight line. We strategized after doing a few circles and finally got it right, and once we did, we were cruising. We paddled around for an hour or so looking at all the new boats in front of the beach and eventually made our way over to Lone Rock Point where we rested our arms and splashed around a bit to cool off. One of the kids showed me the face of the old Native American cheif on the point that I had never seen before, and he had a whole story to go along with it. The way back in was easier and we could use the wind to guide us back to shore. On land again I was happy to see everyone working together to get the kayaks back into the boat yard and up on the racks. Not a single one of them was complaining of being tired or hot and they were all saying, “Wow! I can’t wait to do that again, that was so much fun!”
The CSC combines sailing with wide ranging activities from scuba diving to skateboarding. Take a look at our Multi-Activity Camps.
