How to go canoeing
It made me 
How I did it: This one was a girl scout trip. We spent most of the day out on the river. Getting back proved to be a bit of a challenge though- it was all upstream, so we had to paddle fast to keep the current from dragging us back in the wrong direction.
Lessons & tips: WEAR SUNSCREEN. I cannot even express how important this is. I was peeling for weeks after this trip, and one of the people I was with even ended up with gnarly-looking sun blisters. And that was with multiple applications of 80SPF waterproof sport sunblock- I'd hate to see what happens without any sunblock.
