Today we were able to go on a kayaking excursion for a little while. I was excited and a little nervous because I have never kayaked before. As it turns out, it wasn't that hard and I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to go again! I really appreciated the people in our group who gave us advice and mini lessons on the basics of kayaking. It made me feel better about going and the advice helped a lot once I got out there (not to mention the help getting in & out of the kayak!). Thanks everyone...I hope we get to go once more this week :)
We also had a historic tour of Camp Huntington (SUNY Cortland's outdoor education facility where we are staying). This tour was very interesting. We learned how the camp ended up in the hands of SUNY Cortland. It was really amazing to see the architecture and furnishings of these camp buildings that have been around for many years. The way Adirondack building material was strictly used for construction made these camps unique and special. I had heard a little about the "Great Adirondack Camps" but I am very glad I got to experience seeing and staying at one of them!
More adventures to come...
