Dear Student Body，
Since canoeing (划独木舟) has become more popular in recent years, the Outdoor Club has decided to offer an exciting opportunity for students to explore their surroundings.In the past，the club has gone hiking, bicycling, and fishing.This year，the Outdoor Club members would like to invite all interested students at Redland Oaks Junior High School to go along on a canoeingnature tour of Canyon Lake. The group will leave this Saturday at 9：00 am from the main entrance to Canyon Lake State Park. Students don't need to be a member of the club to enjoy the journey.
The main focus of the nature tour will be to observe the various species of birds found in the area. The Canyon Lake Birdwatchers Club reports that the variety of species and number of birds in the area have increased greatly over the past five years.Many birdwatchers have found the area to be a great place to take photos of their favorite local birds. Tour guides will be on hand to answer any questions about the birds. Be sure to bring a notepad to write down anything you may find interesting.
The tour guides will meet us at the entrance to Canyon Lake State Park. After a general introduction，the guides will go over the safety rules, and then the students will break into pairs. Each guide will then take one pair of students on a tour of the lake.
The Outdoor Club will provide canoes，oars (桨)and life jackets. Students, however，will need to supply their own sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats. It is going to be a hot day, so please do not forget this equipment.
The Outdoor Club looks forward to seeing you on this exciting tour.
Sincerely，
Ty Reid President，
Redland Oaks Junior High Outdoor Club
