Canoeing

Canoeing on the Crooked River

Canoeing is one of the most traditional activities at Birch Rock. Aside from being an important part of the daily activity offerings, the skills learned in canoeing are essential to successful and fun canoeing trips.

Through the early 1990's, the canoes at Birch Rock were of traditional wood and canvas construction. One of these is still at camp, hung below the porch of the lodge. Through the 1990's the fleet of canoes was replaced with more modern canoes for use at camp.

The canoeing badges are: the Penobscot, Abanaki, and Passamaquadi.
