    When I was really young I didn’t go to summer camp, I would spend it with my cousins on Cape Cod. From age 3 to 9 we would spend at least half the summer there, going to the beach and spending time with my family.

    Origins of Canoe Paddling Outrigger canoe paddling has been around for more than 2,000 years. This is a sport that is built on strong bond between each person.
