Canoe Camp – July 16 – 18, 2018
The Wapello County Conservation Board is looking for campers ages 12 to 16 interested in learning to canoe. Participants will spend three days learning the basics of canoeing and testing those skills on three different bodies of water. Day one will be spend at Pioneer Ridge Nature Area learning basic equipment, strokes, and rescue techniques. On day two, we will take the canoes to Lake Wapello to improve our skills with canoe games. Camp will culminate with a float down the Des Moines River (water levels allowing). Registration is required by July 11, and space is limited. Register by calling the nature center at 641-682-3091. Cost is $40 per participant.
