Alumnae Paddling Retreat
Friday, September 6 – Sunday, September 8, 2024
Do you dream of experiencing the thrill of whitewater paddling once again? If you’re a paddler who wants to run rapids with Merrie-Woode friends, then this is the weekend for you! We are excited to offer a three-day paddling retreat for CMW alumnae with beginner level or higher paddling skills and some flat water/white water experience.
On Friday afternoon, we will gather at Camp to fit equipment and review basic skills on the lake. Accommodations will be at High Heaven. We will head out Saturday morning for a warm up run on an introductory river. An evening session on Saturday night will allow us to reflect on our experience. On Sunday morning, we will run a second river, returning to Camp for a late afternoon departure. Rivers will be selected based on the skills of the group and water levels during the weekend.
Tuition includes all meals, High Heaven lodging, instruction, transportation to and from the river, and equipment (kayak, paddle, helmet, life jacket, paddling jacket).
