Going on a river boating trip?! What crazy staff member decided to assign her to this sort of thing when she couldn't even swim? Was the counselor even aware of that?

"I promise not to be dead weight." She enticed grimly, flashing the lot of them a cheeky grin as she attempted to impress by twirling the oar between her fingers confidently. Unfortunately, the paddle clipped one of her shoes instead and clattered from her fingertips to smack her in the face. "Gack!" She stumbled back, fumbling with the oar to reaffirm her grip. "Er..." Her features glowed like the sun once she recaptured her balance. "Ignore that last part. I swear I'm not useless." Suddenly she was looking forward to drowning...
