6th Brazos Canoeing

In the fall of 6th grade, HATS daughters & son and their dads will have the opportunity to put their canoeing (and communications) skills to work as they take on a 10-mile journey down the Brazos River.  With help from mentors, our teams will load their camping gear into canoes and begin paddling down river.  With daughters or sons in the back seat, steering the canoe, our teams will learn first hand about our weekend’s theme: its not about the destination, its about the journey.

We’ll take breaks along the way to play some HATS games and have lunch, and then we’ll pitch our tents on the river bank, where we’ll enjoy a well-earned dinner and spend the night.  On Sunday morning, our daughters and sons have the opportunity to teach their dads a new skill, and we take time to focus on the dad & daughter or dad & son relationship with our traditional breakout.
