Northland College students helped host a whitewater canoe slalom race on the Wolf River. And two of them came home with new-to-them whitewater canoes that were gifted to them by other boaters in this super supportive community. People were impressed by their passion for the sport, and how much they've learned in such a short period of time. We're looking forward to them being part of the whitewater canoe family for years to come!
