Title: Re: Taking youth into the wilderness
Post by Paddle_Guy on Jan 31st, 2013 at 8:16pm
I had the joy of taking my 10 year old daughter into Sylvania Wilderness last August...partly as the result of some encouragment by Prouboy.  Wow...it sure was a life changer for her dad. 

I wasn't sure what to expect taking my little princess into the wilderness.  She hasn't stoped talking about it and she is expecting to go again this summer.

It seems like we can always find ways to talk ourselves out of that initial trip...they are too young...not enough experience in the canoe...not a good enough swimmer...what if it storms like crazy...

Just wish I would have stepped out on faith a little sooner.
