The Day the Canoes Tried to Escape

Ever have that moment when all your camp buddies decide they want to take the canoes for a joyride, but it turns into a hilarious tug-of-war with the wind? We were out on the lake, and I swear those canoes had a mind of their own — just a reminder that no adventure goes as planned, but that’s what makes it unforgettable. What are your favorite camp mishaps that led to some good laughs?

I can totally relate to that! It’s like the canoes were in on some prank. We once tried to paddle back to camp during a storm, and let’s just say we ended up making new friends with some ducks instead.

, that sounds like a classic camp moment — i remember trying to paddle the canoes against the wind and feeling like we were stuck in slow motion. Sometimes I think those canoes are secretly plotting against us.

Canoes definitely have their own agenda! :joy: One time ours flipped, and we ended up swimming back. What’s the craziest thing you all did to get them in line, @zoe_hartman57?

Those canoes definitely have a personality! I remember one time we had to chase one down after it decided to drift away during lunch. It really did feel like a race against the wind.
