The first thing we did was get our life jackets on. Before we got in the water we did paddle exercises so we could get used to the motions when actually kayaking. Then Stinger; our counselor, helped us get into the kayak and push us out into the water. Mrs. Conway went ahead of us and grabbed a pole which we all hooked together. Then we all released and started to row around Indian Rock. At the end of the class we got to stand up and try to push people off the kayak.
Classes
Our first class when we got there was the squid dissection. I was a little apprehensive before, but I realized it wasn't as bad as I thought. We did a turtle hurdle which was learning about how the garbage that we leave in the ocean can kill turtles. We then played a game as an example of what the turtles go through. Next we did a fish lab which was part of the snorkeling class. The next day we did a bird lab which was learning about the birds on Catalina Island, and a nature hike/ history timeline on Catalina. We also learned about Vertebrates and Invertebrates in two separate classes.
