From here we will backcountry camp Friday and Saturday on the waters edge then return to Rocky Mountain House for a send off celebration Sunday afternoon.
We will immerse ourselves in stunning scenery as we learn to navigate the current. Be prepared to laugh, cry and howl with joy as we bond together on the water.
