Lions and Eagles and Learning

March roared into our lives today. This lioness calls our attention to sunshine, cool temperatures and a promise of spring. The tree buds swell in anticipation, ready to birth their leaves, while tulips peak through the soil flirtatiously. Roar - lioness - roar! We are SO ready for summer at Ozark Outdoors.

Last week we hosted the National Paddlesports Business School in Leasburg, Missouri. We enjoyed an amazing three days of education and networking. We armed ourselves with great ideas, practical solutions, and immediate results. We are pumped to use these tools so we can offer more to our guests!

All of the seminars proved beneficial, but admittedly the best experience was our outdoor classroom on Wednesday. We took advantage of a sixty degree day, manned canoes, taught class on a gravel bar, and floated down the river. Bald eagles escorted us through a long stretch, flying majestically overhead, until they perched in the tree above us. They looked down proudly as we waved at them like children.

It won't be long and every day will allow us to float with the eagles, while warm breezes softly kiss our cheeks. Our stretch along the Meramec River boasts many nests, and we are awed by the presence of our feathered guards.

We hope the roaring lioness of March calls you to summer breezes at Ozark Outdoors. Where eagles float in the air, while you float along the river. May you be energized by your own experience in nature's classroom!
