Sean and I are back in The States after eight exciting months in Costa Rica and Chile. It was a bit sad to leave, but we are very excited about our upcoming plans. We are in North Carolina for the time being, working on Alzar programing, and practicing riding motorcycles for a scouting trip we are planning (more on that later). Early next week we begin our drive to Colorado where we will both shadow a ACA Instructor trainer course by Kent Ford. We want to become certified to teach the ACA Instructor Trainer course, and to do so we have to shadow/teach two courses. We have been fortunate enough to find two world class instructors to shadow and we anticipate learning a lot.
After the course with Kent we both drive to California, Sean going to work at The Dunn School, and Kristin to shadow her final course with Mary DeReimer. The Dunn School is a private high school that has a three week rafting trip for the seniors who are graduating. They travel to Northern California paddling on the Klamath, Cal Salmon, and Trinity Rivers.
From there we meet up in Boise, Idaho, our home town, to do a western paddling trip with Alzar before Kristin returns to North Carolina with Camp Green Cove and Sean travels to Lander Wyoming to take a Wilderness EMT course. We will spend the remander of our summer at Green Cove/Mondamin.
Its sure to be an eventful summer with lots of stories and great paddling. We are still accepting registration for our Western Paddling trip, Jun 2-10. Visit the Upcoming Programs section of the website for more information.
For all of you Chilean Expedition 2007 participants, the video is completed and in the mail. You should receive it within the next few days. We’ve had a great time editing it and laughing at all the fun stuff we did. We hope you enjoying watching it and sharing it with all your friends and family. Hopefully it will give everyone a better idea of what you were up to in Chile.
Kristin and Sean
