Summer 2015

For the summer of 2015, I once again found myself living in North Carolina and instructing whitewater kayaking. This summer I was given the opportunity to work for Falling Creek Camp. Falling Creek Camp is an all-boys summer camp about 45 minutes south of Ashville. Besides having your traditional summer camp activities, they also run one of the finest youth kayaking programs in the southeast. There are some really good boaters at this camp. Besides instructing on the lake, there were lots of river days and even week long trips. Here are some pictures of the trips I was able to go on. Most of the pictures are mine but some were taken by other camp staff. Enjoy..
