Thanksgiving camp

ASCK will be offering a Thanksgiving Training Camp, October 7,8,9 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). From what I know, most schools have the 7th off so we should take advantage of it. Monday is also a holiday, but I want to leave that for Friends and Family time. Cadets, Junior, Seniors, Masters - Lets all get together one last weekend and paddle and have fun! I'll find coaches as necessary. Pass along to anyone additional who you think might like to paddle or coach (Roxanne).
