Getting Kids into Canoeing

[Foxyotter]

I meant Cliff Jacobson a couple years ago at Quit Adventure Symposium and asked if he had any advice for getting kids interested in and building skills to enjoy camping and paddling. He recommend I give them his book Justin Cody's Race to Survival. I purchased a copy and brought along on trip and we all took turns reading out loud. It is filled with good info and adventure. It help reinforce the lessons I was trying to teach and sparked deeper conversations about why, when, how to simply, comfortably and safely travel in the back country.
