Sean is a freshman at Minnesota State University, Mankato. He first began canoeing when at the age of 7 on a trip to the Boundary Waters with his parents. Since then he has been going to the BWCA yearly. Sean was a goalie on the Chaska High School hockey team and this year was a goalie for the MSU Club Hockey team. He enjoys the outdoors and spending time with friends.
Colton is also a freshman at Minnesota State University, Mankato. He first went to the Boundary Waters in first grade with his father and Sean’s family and has also been going every year since. Colton played lacrosse for Chaska High School and enjoys spending time with friends, being in the outdoors, and shooting pictures.
