A New Summer

In about one week I am off to Beyond Malibu, a Young Life camp on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. Here, I will be a sea kayaking guide for high school campers who come up to the wilderness for a 7 to 8 day kayak trip in the Jervis and Sea Schelt Inlets. The next two and a half months will be an experience unlike any other I have had. This volunteer position demands long hours, physical, mental and spiritual strength but I am very excited to see how my weeks will unfold.

It is bittersweet to leave my family, friends and the city of Bellingham I love so much but very exciting to paddle into an uncharted adventure that I know will grow so much from.

Base camp, Malibu Landing, has no phone service but fortunately I do have internet access so I will try my best to write about all that I am experiencing.

Until next time...
