"This is not your typical sit-back-and-relax counseling session.
"With
waves splashing up the sides of their yellow rafts, 10 youngsters
wearing black wet suits and life jackets paddle down a swift and choppy
Spokane River, laughing and smiling as they go.
"For these young
rafters, most of them from disadvantaged backgrounds, this is a day
they'll never forget. And Ryan Kerrigan, who helped organize this
rafting trip, hopes it's a day that will be a turning point in their
lives.
"This
river adventure, lending brightness to an overcast day, is about
learning life lessons, such as the importance of cooperation - and about
simply having fun."
A recent Christian Science Monitor article profiled Mr. Kerrigan and his Peak 7 Adventures ministry.
