In case anyone missed what we are all about in the River of God School of Paddling here are out basic goals: To help young
people
- experience
and get to know God through His creation
- develop
an appreciation for creation and learn how to care for it
- learn
life skills, values & teamwork through paddling and working together
- have a
great time paddling local rivers, lakes & reservoirs
We are very into reading God's BIG BOOK of creation. The past few days we have seen great blue herons, trumpeter swans, snowy egrets, osprey and today we saw an immature bald eagle. God is also very creative when it comes to trees, lilies and bugs.
Our morning Bible lesson was about how in the midst of a broken world, as we are restored to God through Jesus Christ we are sent to heal. This means we are stewards of God's creation as well as healers by God's grace to all the people created in God's image. What a high and holy calling.
Our paddling destination today was Lake Wawayanda in Wawayanda State Park. Its a beautiful highland lake above Greenwood Lake near the New York Border.
The lake has many spots full of beautiful water lilies, both white and yellow.
We found a new spot for lunch this year in a small cove on the one big island in the middle of the lake.
