    Hello All,
    Harrisburg Inspiring Connections Outdoors would like our help teaching kids how to canoe before the Dick Reese Kipona Canoe Races on Labor Day.
    There will be three evening practices from 6 to 8 pm on Monday 8/12, Tuesday 8/20, and Wednesday 8/21. These will be at the City Island beach at the upstream tip of City Island in Harrisburg. We will be pairing up with a HICO student and teaching them basic canoeing with an emphasis on going straight and simple turns.
    If the river is above 4.5 ft on the Harrisburg gauge, we will use the West Fairview landing at the mouth of Conodogquinet Creek.
    Hopefully you can bring your own tandem own canoe and maybe a spare if you have one. I will bring two canoes and a couple of extra PFDs and paddles.
    If you are available for any of these dates, please post here or you can call me at 717-887-4220.
    Thank you!

      We had a good practice with nice weather again last night once we waited for the thunderstorms to pass by. If you are available tonight (Wednesday), please let me know.

      We had a nice time last week with a few CCGH volunteers and kids from HICO. For most of them, this was the first time ever in a canoe. We will be doing this again on Tuesday and Wednesday this week (8/20 and 8/21). We are still looking for some volunteers. If you want to get more people into paddling, this is one way to do it! Please let me know if you are available.
