These Scholarship Foundation Fundraiser Canoe/Kayak Clinics
have become a tradition, rich with new and renewed friendships,
against the background of beautiful North Carolina rivers on
which to learn and explore. Come join us! All the
proceeds of this event above food cost will go directly to
the Frank and Calla Bell Scholarship Foundation, so your vacation
and your gift enabling young people to experience camp will
be one and the same.
Our head instructor will be Gordon
Grant. Gordo
is a life long paddler, ex-Mondamin camper and staff member,
former head of instruction at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, writer
for Paddler Magazine, and well known in the paddling world.
We will work with both canoes and kayaks. The
clinic targets the "rusty" paddler, the beginner who's had some
experience on flat water and is ready to try some whitewater,
or the intermediate who wants to work on his or her river running
and/or playing techniques. We'll use our local rivers, including
the Green, French Broad, Nantahala, Chatooga, and others as appropriate
to the skill level of the group. If need be, we'll split the
group into more or less advanced skill groupings.
Cost: $400. Includes
meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch, instruction and
transportation during the clinic, airport pickup, all individual
and group canoes and equipment, and lodging in Mondamin's finest
cabins (that would mean cots, electricity and hot water!) We
accept 12 participants.
