Stories

• I enjoyed learning different strokes

  My favorite part of camp was learning to scull and row in general. I liked these areas because I enjoyed learning different strokes. Also, I enjoyed sculling because it was fun and more balanced. 

• I liked working in a team

  I liked working as a team with the other campers and trying out different boats.

• I liked learning to row and being a coxswain

  I liked learning to row and being a coxswain. Learning rowing techniques and standing in the boat was really fun along with learning to steer.

• I really like this camp

  I really like this camp!

  I think that learning was my favourite part about Camp Argo. Specifically, I liked sculling best because there is a smaller group of people and each of us use 2 oars instead of 1. Also, I liked the Thunderbird because it is where you do a power 10 and then when you are glidding, you push your oars down so they are higher in the air like wings.  

   

   

• It was really cool!

  I liked rowing in the eight the most. It was enjoyable to work in a team as you needed to make sure you were in time with everyone else. I also liked when we did the 'Thunderbird' in the eight. It was really cool!

• Some observations from Camp Argo 2013

  One of our Counsellors described this story from Camp Argo 2013:

  "There was one boy who was quite small for his age and very shy. There was also a group of friends who came to camp together and initially were somewhat rowdy. The shy boy quickly became freinds with the other boys because of the respect he commanded in the boat. Although the friendship was not a very likely match, the group of boys saw that the shy boy was a more experienced rower than they were, and they respected that and learned from it. I thought that was a pretty cool thing to see, especially from teenaged boys who can tend to stick with their own friends."

  Another story from the same Counsellor, from 2013:

  "There was a girl I remembered who caught onto rowing quite quickly. She did not have a preference for which boat she was in, and always made the best out of who she was rowing with. If there were campers more experienced than her in the boat, she would learn from them.  If the other campers in the boat were less experienced than she was, she would help them learn something. This was great to see as a counsellor. "
