Over the 83-degree Labor Day weekend, a small group of Milligan students exchanged the indoors for the outdoors in Asheville, North Carolina.
Students went stand-up paddleboarding along the French Broad River. The Milligan Campus Activity Board (CAB) sponsored the two-hour event, and, for a majority of the students, this was their first encounter with the water sport.
“It was actually very easy to learn and get the hang of it,” Senior Hannah Simeon said, adding that the river was not “too crowded.”
Senior Victoria Rivera said she enjoyed the four-mile course for its variety.
“The river was shallow in some parts and deep in others,” Rivera said. “We got to jump in and swim in some parts. It was so fun, and I would totally do it again!”
The group ended the day with dinner and ice cream in Asheville.
