Morgan's first week as a keener 3rd year paddling

Hello Readers!
It's Morgan Fuller writing at the girls house, Yakistan!
So this is my first week at a keener and things are going great. The Keener program is a sweet thing and its great fun! Ok, so far in my journey at Keenerville we have watched movies, made fires, ate some super food our Keener mom Jackie made for us, and of course done some epic paddling!
Our paddling instructers for our first week include, Joel Kowalski, Stephen Wright, Nick Troutman, Rafael Ortiz, Ruth Gorden, and Kyle Hull. All these instructers are either pro or well on their way to be pro! Its epic paddling with them because they know so much and they try to tranfer so much of there knowings to us and we are learning super fast!
So far on the river I have got worked many times but that is all in the fun of what we do here. Everytime I come up smiling and claim my beat down. Everytime I come out of a big beat down either in my boat or not I know that I have just lost all fear of getting worked in a hole of whatever size it was. And truely I am happy for that beat down because now I will go through anything of it's size or maybe bigger!
Today I ran the main for the first time and it was amazing! My intructers took me down the safest lines everytime and im not going to lie I was pretty greatful!
So there is my first week at Keeners !

Well thanks for reading!

Morgan Fuller
