Children are magic.
And canoes are the perfect vehicle to transport them into the ever-changing, always entertaining world of nature. There's no better way to keep a youthful heart than to paddle with young people. Canoes provide all the entertainment kids need to provide all the laughs you need. So much for philosophy. Your role as parent and leader requires canoe handling knowledge, a perceptive eye, and patience, patience, patience.
