If you enjoy
the outdoors, summer is the perfect time to explore the plethora of outdoor
leisure activities. Outdoor leisure
activities promote a healthy lifestyle and also serve as a sensational stress
buster. Unsure of where to begin, perhaps
canoeing or kayaking would interest you!
Canoeing and/or
kayaking are relaxing, stress free activities that are accessible at many area
parks. You can also enjoy these
activities on a grander scale by visiting the Shenandoah
River in Front Royal,
Virginia. Experience the beauty of the
Shenandoah River on your own or in a guided tour. Enjoy paddling through the crystal clear
waters of the Shenandoah and soak in the sun and have fun.
If you are a
novice, there are a number of tour companies in Front Royal that will provide novice
to intermediate instruction to help you stay safe and get the most out of
your canoeing experience. If you prefer to study up on
canoeing before you go, consider enrolling in NOVA’s Canoeing Class offered
through our Recreation, Parks
and Leisure Studies Program. Although
this is an on-campus course, not offered through ELI, it only requires two
evenings on campus and one weekend at an off campus site to practice and learn
the canoeing skills and rules. If you are interested in registering the class will be offered in the Fall: RPK 171. This class may even count
towards your degree – please check with your Faculty Advisor or an ELI
Counselor by emailing elicounseling@nvcc.edu.
Not
interested in canoeing, read our future blog posts for additional leisure
activities to help relax and enjoy the summer.
