Kayaking at Camp Columba

Kayaking was really fun at camp. Kayaking is being in a small boat with a two-sided paddle, and you sit in the small boat and you hold the paddle in the water. If you want to go forward, you rotate the paddle left and right fast-ish.

My favourite part of Kayaking was doing the games, especially when we were playing tag, and when they tagged you on the back of your Kayak, you then had to climb into their kayak with them. There was also a Kayak slide there. Our instructor said that going down backwards was the safest option. We all enjoyed Kayaking! By Sheara lee.

Kayaking is the coldest activity in camp. It's kayaking with a slide and jump. The kayak slide, a slide for your kayak it's super fun, and there are a lot of different ways to go down, backwards, forward and with 1 or 2 people, whatever you do, it's all fun. If that isn’t your thing, then you can just do some relaxing kayaking in the lake. There are also a multitude of games that you play, my favourite being chicken. It's played where you have to do something on your kayak, otherwise you are the chicken. The jump/swimming, the last thing you do in the pond. The jump has 3 different levels to jump off, the first being a lake level, then, 1m jump and finally a 1.5 m.  Swimming is like any other kind of swimming, altogether the kayaks were amazing, just like camp!
