1. The best thing I remember from this year is doing the interpretation with the younger kids. I enjoyed learning the material and delivering it to the younger kids. I liked talking and teaching them things I learned. 2. The most challenging part of outdoor ed this years was doing all of the paper work. I found that all of the work sheets was a little challenging. I also found canoeing for a long period of time was challenging. The long canoe ride really tested my patience. 3. The most interesting part of outdoor ed was building quinsies. I had never heard of quinsies before I entered outdoor ed. Even though I didn’t get to see the final part it was stilll interesting. 4. I would have liked more group work. It’s more productive and fun to work with other people then it is to work alone. I find working with groups easier and the opinions of other people are usually very valueable. 5. I learned a lot and gained a lot of skills which may help me in the future. - tyi
what I did well? I think that I did a pretty good job avoiding rocks, sweepers and strainers. Matthew and I didn’t flip our canoe, we got stuck 2-4 times but we jiggled our way though it. What I need to improve? I need to work on paddling with a better pace. What I really enjoyed? I enjoyed going through the rapids. I also enjoyed seeing the bus and taking breaks. What I found difficult? Why? I found padding for a long time difficult, because it made by arm and shoulder tired. Would I recommend canoe trip in the futur? Why/why not? I would recommend this for the futur because it was a fun experience and I think everyone should try this once in their life.
