Summer Camp Ardèche, France

22nd July 2019

Keeping Cool and Paddling Hard!

It’s Mini-Descent Day!

That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Descent begins tomorrow which means today, we had our mini descent. After breakfast we sunscreened up, threw on our floatation vests and took to the river! We paddled through the morning through several rapids and stopping at lots of beaches for water and snacks in between! We made it all the way to the Point D’Arc and then we stopped for some cliff jumping and lunch!

After lunch, we piled on a bus and came back to camp. We headed into town for a quick ice cream break (it was hot hot hot today) and then headed back for some free time before dinner after which we packed up all of our gear for our big journey tomorrow! We are now winding down and getting ready for bed, so for now,

Goodnight and enjoy today’s photos!
