Whitewater trip to Slovenia.

Report

In early May, we headed to Slovenia once again for one of our legendary whitewater instruction weeks. This year, we had a record number of forty participants joining us from both Euros and the student kayaking association of Leiden. Trailers loaded with boats were transported to our usual campsite in Bovec, located next to the Soča River. Some others found their way to Slovenia on motorcycles, eager to explore the beautiful mountain roads.

Throughout the week, we paddled various sections of the Soča River with increasing difficulty, learning new skills along the way with the help of whitewater instructors from both inside and outside the associations. Evenings were spent around the campfire, playing games, and on one particular night, eating cheese fondue in rain gear as our campsite slowly flooded. For those not into whitewater paddling, a group was assembled each day to go hiking or visit towns like the capital, Ljubljana.

All in all a big success and we're all looking forward to next year:)!
