Canoe Rescue - The Curl- Paddle to the Sea

Do you remember a child's book called Paddle to the Sea? It was a favorite of mine at the library when I was a child. There were very few words but so much magic in the journey.  I believe that book began my love of watercraft and paddle adventures.

                                                                   
Paddle to the Sea  by Holling C. Holling is available at Mansfield Library - an adventure in itself. If you just have to have this classic on your own bookshelf Amazon has it at the link below.

www.amazon.com/Paddle-Sea-Sandpiper-Books/dp/0395292034

When you return to Holiday Hill Day Camp be ready to  paddle to Mansfield Hollow an equally exciting adventure, just remember to practice waterfront safety like the video shows above.

Mansfield Hollow Winter WOW!

Winter WOW! I couldn't think of a better way to describe this. Beyond paddling  across the blue waters and a walk out to see the ice fisherman one day I have not explored  Mansfield Hollow's waterfront in winter.  I have totally missed this combination. WOW! That does look like fun. I guess when all the canoes are asleep for winter and the camp is silent, and only memories haunt the play areas and pool edge,those are the times to explore other sports and  maybe, just maybe try a snow kite one day!

I long for warm sun,  the smell of burgers on the grill and the laughter of  campers coming down the hill from the pool. Summer is coming, be ready with a family membership or group outing planned at Holiday Hill Day Camp visit us at http://www.holidayrecreation.com/  for all the details!

Mansfield Hollow Birds Eye View

Birds Eye View..... and flying skill.

( I believe this is a mechanical bird from the video but what a vantage point)

Did you ever watch a bird fly high over the Hollow as you paddled a canoe? Now you can know just what they might be seeing. Maybe it was a Red Tailed Hawk you saw over head.

Red Tail Hawk  stopped by E.O.Smith High School for a breakfast of fresh rabbit recently

Might have been a Hawk, Eagle or Osprey that swooped over your Holiday Hill Day Camp canoe in Mansfield Hollow, they love down by the lake.

If you want to be out there again this summer, now is the time to register for the session of your choice. Look online at http://www.holidayrecreation.com/  to sign up for a session or more and bring those bird watching, sky swooping, summer days back.
