A bright & early wake up at camp as we prepare for our exciting Ardeche River "mini descent"! Boats & paddles at the ready, each of the campers jumped in the water with excitement to paddle their kayaks under the picturesque Le Pont d'Arc!
In our "mamma duck" formation & everybody paired in kayaks, we set off for another amazing day chasing the rapids in the blistering sun! This was the first time that some of our campers had ever paddled on the rapids, so of course this was a huge excitement for not only the campers, but us counselors too!!
After a short while of paddling, we came to our 4th rapid of the day - Le Charlemagne with the amazing backdrop of Le Pont d'Arc!... you can just imagine the faces of the excited campers!! We gazed up at the arc while stopping at the next beach for lunch. It was fairly quiet when we stopped so it couldn't have been any better! After lunch, we swam to the other side of the river for the cliff jump that everybody had spent days talking about, they just couldn't get enough!
We continued with our paddling until we reached our end point in the early afternoon. Boats on shore ready for the Grand Descent that we will start tomorrow morning. Bags are packed & ready to go!
