Paddle into tradition with the canoe crew of Camp Sweyolakan, a dedicated team keeping the spirit of adventure, teamwork, and leadership alive on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene. In this KSPS PBS Northwest Profiles episode, we explore how these young leaders connect campers to nature through the timeless craft of canoeing, while building confidence, responsibility, and lasting friendships along the way. Camp Sweyolakan, operated by Camp Fire Inland Northwest, has been a summer tradition for generations. The canoe crew plays a vital role in shaping the camp experience—teaching paddling skills, leading lake expeditions, and ensuring safety on the water. With deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, this story highlights the power of outdoor education and the lifelong impact of summer camp.

Produced by Bob Lawrence in 2014.
