OBX2 is having so much fun

By Anne Izard on July 15, 2016

OBX is doing well. It’s been really hot but the group is still having a ball. They did a morning paddle down towards Swansboro, which is about a 5 mile paddle round trip. Everyone did a great job controlling their kayak and getting the proper technique down.

It was warm but the group still had a great time paddling. It helped cool the group down by getting in the water. Everyone is saying hydrated and happy. The group has been enjoying a lot of swimming in the river, to help with the heat. Over the last 2 days Ani had been teaching the group yoga. Everyone seem to love it! The group had been participating in some more team building activities. Everyone feels like a team and are able to work very well together. Everyone is having a great time and can’t wait for more adventures to come.
