Udow will be joined by psychologist and author Joy Wolfe Ensor, the daughter and niece of Henia and Ilona, who will describe and read from the anthology, "The Ones Who Remember: Second-Generation Voices of the Holocaust," of which she is co-editor and a contributing author. Ensor's chapter, One Day the World Will Be the World Again, focuses heavily on the Karmel sisters’ literary careers, the intergenerational legacy of writing in her family, and the power of creative writing as a force for healing and resilience after trauma.

Kayak Camp
9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
St. Vrain Creek in Longmont and Lyons
The Young Rippers Kayak Camp, which will run from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm from Saturday May 27 to Wednesday May 31 on the St. Vrain Creek in Longmont and Lyons, is aimed at introducing kids to the joys of river kayaking.
“Kayaking is a great way for young people to gain confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and get some outdoor exercise,” says TCWR head coach Liam Malakoff, a certified kayak instructor who will be leading the program. “This camp is all about making sure they have the foundation to kayak with assurance and safety.”
The program revolves around four concepts, Malakoff says: “Flow, fun, power, and poise.” It will include coaching in proper paddling technique, games, and opportunities to practice boating skills, including how to “roll” a kayak upright if it flips over. Kids will also learn to identify and avoid potential safety hazards, and get introduced to the Olympic sport of kayak racing. The cost is $475.
To learn more about the camp, visit Team Colorado’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/TeamColoradoWhitewaterRacingClub/) or email [email protected].
