Description: The canoe has been playing an increasingly important part in the lives of those who spend their summers beside the countless lakes and rivers of Canada. Persons who have been associated with camps for young people and those interested in summer tourists recognize that the canoe can be a most important contribution to healthful and recreational activity; that the experiences associated with canoeing provide in themselves a rich and full programme. This book will be of great assistance to those who teach paddling, and should help those who use the canoe to do so with greater safety and skill. Both the author and the illustrator have had wide experience in using the canoe for camping, and have been known as leading authorities on canoeing as a means of recreation. This publication on the art of canoeing will be a great source of inspiration and assistance to all those who take to this magic little craft.
