Trip photos

Smile and say “All forward”

We chronicle each trip with photographs, some taken on the water from a roving canoe, and others taken during class sessions at Holliday Park, as well as the launch area and the takeout. Look for your school trip, or teacher training session, here.

Bonus! If your web browser plays Quicktime movies, you may enjoy these short video clips.
