Canoeing Fun on the River

Every summer, the LHA girls all take advantage of our setting on a beautiful lake by learning to canoe. This course was  designed by Kyle Shepard, our Program Director and Recreational Therapist. Every day, the girls learn the skills necessary to be able to manage a canoe on the open water.

This  course then culminates with every girl participating in a multi-day canoeing trip on the rivers of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  It has become a favorite of both staff and students. Thanks to the Residential Coaches and Therapists  who all work to make this happen. And a special thanks to Mike Tui for giving everyone a change to enjoy the serenity  of this trip with this photo!
