Our kids from Warsaw and Lodz once again took up the paddling challenge and faced one of the four elements. Annual canoeing trips guarantee the end of vacations with a bump, so in August our youngsters from Lodz went on a canoeing trip on the Pilica River, and from Warsaw on the Wkra and Narew Rivers. We have to admit that we were swept away by the current of fun!
Despite fatigue, smiles showed on the faces of the charges every now and then. Active recreation and contact with nature helped relieve the stress of difficult everyday life and allowed them to look at problems from a different perspective. More than one participant was surprised by the strength of his own abilities, and overcoming the river turned out to be a small brick on the way to building self-confidence. Rafting is also an opportunity to integrate, open up to new relationships and build confidence. We learned that we can overcome any difficulty by working together and helping each other.
Both groups coped with the sporting task in masterful style, so to recharge our batteries we prepared a bonfire and refreshments for all the brave canoeists. We returned from the trips with positive energy, ready for the new challenges that the new school year will bring!
We would like to thank the LOTTO Foundation, as well as the Mazovian Voivodeship and the Mazovian Social Policy Center for their support in implementing the project.
