Summer Camp Ardèche, France

21st July 2015

It's GRAND DESCENT DAY!

Quote of the day: Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age and dreams are forever

It's Grand Descent day and we have some very excited campers and counsellors alike are ready to hit the river and get paddling those rapids!

After a nutritious and filling breakfast the campers are all ready in their paddling gear with their barrels packed for the overnight adventure camping under the stars at Gournier Bivouc site. We are all set to hop on the river and paddle through some epic rapids. We will be stopping on the way for a scenic picnic lunch where there will also be the opportunity for the campers to plunge into the gorgeous Ardeche river with some cliff-jumping and rapid-swimming.

After paddling through a few more rapids including the elusive Dent Noir and with a quick stop for a snack we will be beaching up at our Bivouc site for the night and setting up camp. We will get to enjoy a delicious charcoal BBQ after which we will all enjoy a reflection period on the beach before sleeping out under the stars ready for day 2!

Tune in tomorrow to hear how we get on!
