Introduce Youngsters to Canoeing...

[Lupe]

Hi all,

The Volunteer coordinator at Pinnacle Mt. State Park has reached out to us to see if anyone would be able to volunteer to help teach some youngsters about canoeing. The information I have is pasted below, along with who to contact if you can help. I highlighted the 2 dates (June 11 and June 25) when they are specifically going to do canoe activities. Unfortunately, both are weekdays (Thursdays), but if you are lucky enough to be free during the week, check it out!
