John Feight, the Big Canoe artist, may be most recognized locally for his “Blackie” series which can be found in regular rotation at the Black Bear Pub inside the gated community. What viewers may not realize about the artist behind humorous paintings of a black bear in various historical scenes (an ursine Forrest Gump), is Feight has an impressive body of non-bear art including a show in Paris, a painting in the Savannah Telfair museum’s permanent collection and he is the founder of the national

Sports have taught me the importance of accountability, discipline, and communication. Student government has educated me on how involvement is the best strategy. Working has taught me the importance of working to a high standard. The Canadian Canoe Pilgrimage educated me on the importance of trusting God. High level classes have not only challenged my mental capabilities, but also the classes have taught me the importance of communication. Throughout countless practices and hardships, the

Outdoor Experience Paper Reflection At the beginning of the semester whenever I saw that we had to go on a camping trip and I wasn’t necessarily excited, but I wasn’t upset either. I’ve gone camping with my family before and it was fun, but I hated staying in a tent. Instead of being negative about the situation, I told myself that I would make this a fun and positive experience. I would have the opportunity to meet new people and get close to some of my fellow classmates. As the day for the camping

Come on everyone it is time to go canoeing. Everyone gets in their canoes at the lake and the camp counselor says be careful not to fall into Canoe Lake. All of a sudden the canoe flips over and I have fallen into the lake and cut my foot open on the bottom of the lake stepping on a broken bottle. The camp counselor rushes me to the camp nurse who is now dressing my wound and explaining to me that I am at risk for infection because of exposure to bacteria, parasites, and fungi. What do I do now

Four years ago my father and I went to a place in northern Minnesota called Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCA). In this place of pure nature and serenity my mind flourished with the thoughts of how much humanity had an impact on this world. Instead of tall trees, marshes, lakes, and meadows humans cleared, drained, and burnt thousand upon thousands of square miles of this beautiful earth in all corners of the globe. Humans did this to better the lives of all, but at what cost? Does it really better

piloting a canoe on one's own can easily be accomplished once one has some paddling experience, it's best to gain that experience with another person, hopefully someone who's paddled a canoe before.

Broad River and some of our canoes flipped over! One of them was Lacy, Aubrey and Mr. Flamini’s canoe. Lacy and Aubrey were in the canoe, and then Mr. Flamini tried to get in….. and the whole thing flipped. They haven’t even started! Then, about ¾ the way into the ride, Nick, Mac, and Michael's canoe flipped over as well, and they were in one of the most calm parts of the river. The guide had to canoe all the way back up, against the current, and help them get it back right side up. I was in front

so I had to go to the island even if it was a bit scary. “Come on Afa!” I hollered as I was trotting to the canoe. We got to the canoe and loaded everything that we needed like my spear. We got into the canoe, and I pushed off the shore of Bora Bora. We sailed through the glistening water to the island. As I approached the island I hopped off the canoe in the shallow water and pulled the canoe on the shore. I felt the soft sand underneath my cold and damp feet as I walked to the trees with Afa. I went

after me. We had to perform a transition in an outrigger canoe race; Three people jump off the canoe and three people jump into the canoe. The goal is to maintain momentum as much as possible, we couldn’t lose anytime. Three hours forty two minutes and fifty two seconds later we crossed the finish line. Our team of nine people came in fifty second out of sixty canoes. I was excitied that everyone had survived the 20 mile open ocean canoe race and that we had finished the race: The 46th annual Whitey

The Chumash didn’t just have one type of Tomol; they had three boats they would make. There were tule balsas, dugout canoes, and the more famous plank canoe. The tule balsa canoe was a boat that was made of bundles of tule and was assembled in only three days. This was a canoe they would build when the area was running low on supplies and wood for the other canoes. To build this boat, they would first need to cut down some tule, then let it dry while. Tule is a
