YCC Trips, Training Sessions, & Workshops

I recently joined the National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA Canoe Club (YCC), and have attended several workshops

and training sessions. I manage to take a few photos at these events, but many times
there is just no time, or else the logisitcs of doing so were insurmountable.
It's hard to run the Lower Mad and take photos at the same time...!

Check out the YCC website for membership and events information.

Here's what I have done, and what photos I do have.
