And that’s a wrap on this year’s Canoe Journey!

It has been an amazing Journey for our group. They have witnessed so much from the planning side of things. We hope they not only learned but truly enjoyed themselves this year.

During this year’s journey, they ensured camp was cleaned up after each move, had a vendor table to sell some of their work, even MC’d the Talent Show, and helped in the Kitchen. They had a lot of leadership training this week, and it truly shows they got the skills.

CREW will be on a bit of a TIME OUT to recover from another amazing trip. Keep an eye out on when things will be picking up again.
