Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Pottstown NAACP, and the Ricketts Center invite you to join us for a free, fun-filled family kayaking adventure down the Schuylkill River, perfect for people of all ages! This paddle will encourage youth and families to get outdoors, share multi-generational experiences, and build confidence to participate in future paddling activities. This kayak trip gives individuals the opportunity to connect with the River and learn tips and tricks on how to organize their own paddles. Kayaks, oars, and personal flotation devices (PFD's) will be provided so no equipment is necessary. Come prepared to learn and have fun! We can't wait to see you on the River!

Through advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good."

"The Delaware Riverkeeper Network (DRN) champions the rights of our communities to a Delaware River and tributary streams that are free-flowing, clean, healthy, and abundant with a diversity of life. Since our founding in 1988, DRN has grown into a leading environmental organization with the ability to provide effective environmental advocacy, analyze technical studies and agency materials, implement cutting edge scientific studies, and enforce compliance with environmental laws. We work throughout the four states of the Watershed (NY, NJ, PA, and DE) and at the federal level when issues that impact the health of our Watershed play out on a national stage. DRN is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) membership organization."

This paddle project received funding through the R3 Education Grant Program, administered by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. This is an ACA sanctioned event.
