CANOE ADVENTURE

Canoeing at the end of summer vacation is already a tradition that our young people look forward to all year. This time the charming corners of the Wkra and Narew rivers decided to show us that canoeing together requires not only muscle strength, but also mastering the art of consensual cooperation. We were paddling with the current of the river, when suddenly our canoes unexpectedly got stuck…. in the shallows. The water was too shallow and the bottom was too muddy for the canoes to go on. At first there was chaos – what next?

But the youngsters quickly realized that this was the moment to act together. Everyone threw themselves into helping, forming a spontaneous rescue team and a cheering dance troupe. Our charges were supported by volunteer Michał, who sits on the board of our Foundation on a daily basis, and during the rafting trip trained us in water safety rules. When we finally managed to free the canoes, everyone felt incredible satisfaction and… hunger! Fortunately, at the finish, there was a bonfire and refreshments waiting for us to replenish our strength.

This rafting trip showed us that together we can overcome any obstacle – even one that no one expected, and that adventure is not only what we plan, but above all what surprises us!
