Note: Special Guests List on Delmarva Paddlers Retreat website has
been updated with:

Kampe Absalonsen
To many Greenland kayaking enthusiasts, Kampe does not need an
introduction. He is known as the Senior Competition Judge for the
Annual Greenland Kayaking Championship. He is also a vice president
of the Qajaq Kattuffiat. He is also the founding member of the Qajaq
Illulissat. Originally from Sisimiut, Kamp learned to paddle and hunt
at an age of 4. His ancestors have taught him the traditional methods
of paddling and hunting which he hopes to transfer to the new
generation. During the age where the popularity of kayaking was
declining, he and few others diligently saved the practice and
reintroduced to the young Greenlanders and foreigners.

Professor Marianne Stenbaek
Professor at McGill University, Quebec; organized the 2005 "Festival
of Greenland" in Washington DC. Professor Stenbaek has research
interests in mass media, communications in developing areas, and
northern studies.

Greg Stamer & Freya Hoffmeister
Greg Stamer, President of QAJAQ-USA, and Freya Hoffmeister, Self-
Styled G-Style Kayaker & World Traveler will share details on their
recent circumnavigation of Iceland. They should have quite a tale to
tell having paddled for 33 days, for an average of 66K daily through
some challenging water conditions.
