NH - Vermont Semester
Life at the River
May

After a month of carving, pounding, reading, sanding, weaving, writing, and chopping, we pick up a new tool. It’s smooth, strong, and individually crafted—the paddle. We step into a shining cedar canoe with paddles in hand. The ancient travel routes open to us and suddenly, we are free.

We study hydro power and water quality.

We learn geology from the top of Mt Ascutney.

We make fire with friction.

We fill our bellies with fiddleheads, knotweed pie, and other tasty gifts from the riverbank.

“Kroka has not only taught me white water paddling skills, bush life skills, and how to live in the world around us, it has also shown me the spiritual side of the world. Now I see what is around me in a new light.” ––Tommy Robertson, Semester Student 2006
