Description
Kayaks on the shore of Hume Lake at the Hume Lake Christian Camps.
A kayak is a small narrow boat, usually propelled by a double-bladed paddle. In the UK, the term "canoe" is often used when referring to this type of boat. The word "kayak" means "man's boat" or "hunter's boat" and were first used by the Inuit, Yup'ik, and Aleut people to hunt on inland lakes, rivers, and coastal waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and North Pacific oceans. Modern kayaks are primarily used for recreation - fishing, photography, or just paddling on a lake - although there are models designed to be used in rougher waters such as the ocean surf and river whitewater, and even specialty designs such as inflatables or foldable.
Hume Lake is a reservoir located in the Sequoia National Forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The 87-acre lake was formed by the construction of the world's first concrete reinforced multiple arch dam in 1908. It was originally used to store logs for an adjacent lumber mill and supplied water for a flume to transport lumber. Logging ended in 1924 after which the lake has used primarily for recreation, primarily swimming, boating, and trout fishing. The lake is currently owned by the U.S. Forest Service.
Hume Lake Christian Camps is a nonprofit Christian organization that works outside of and across denominations. The camps focus on worship services and Bible teaching. Hume Lake Christian Camps was founded in 1945 as Felloship Conferences. In 1946 it purchased 320 acres of land adjacent to Hume Lake and that summer it hosted 670 campers. In the years since it has hosted more than one-million people.
