We recently had the pleasure of working with two talented counselors for the first Eco-Therapy Camps.
“Eco-therapy is a way of taking advantage of what nature has to offer to teach kids skills that will help them control anger and increase positive mood,” said Jayme Mahoney. Campers learned to ride a wave, paddle a standup paddleboard, practice yoga on the beach, and explore the natural wonders of the lower Eastern Shore. Every day featured an adventure. Two groups visited us at the Pocomoke River Canoe Company to learn the basics of paddling a canoe. The kids were aged 6 to 17, few of which had any paddling experience at all. All did very well, paddling more than a mile on Corkers Creek.
If you know a camp or school program where young people might enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill – canoeing or kayaking – think about bringing them to the Pocomoke River Canoe Company. Our skilled staff can turn any first-time paddler into a smiling paddler.
