The Pennsylvania Environmental Council serves on the Delaware River Sojourn Committee, and is planning the final day of the sojourn on Saturday, June 27th. For complete details on the entire week, visit www.delawareriversojourn.org

Day Plan for June 27th

Meet at Penn's Landing for sign-in at 8:00 am (pre-registration at www.delawareriversojourn.org is strongly suggested)

Paddlers will be transported to the boat launch in Pennsauken, NJ.  Following a safety briefing, addlers will enter the Delaware River, travel under historic bridges, past Petty's Island, and stop at a riverfront park or island for lunch. During lunch, we'll hear a presentation on the Lenape history of Petty Island (Shackamaxon). Then they'll paddle a little further south to Penn's Landing, in time for the Taste of Philadelphia celebration.

No experience necessary. All equipment and lunch will be provided.

The purpose of the Sojourn is to heighten awareness of, and appreciation for, the ecological, historical, recreational, and economic significance of the Delaware River, which flows through New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

The Sojourn combines canoeing, kayaking, camping, educational programs, historical interpretation, and more.

Almost anyone can come on the Sojourn: adults, families, kids, and grandparents. The Sojourn is for novice to experienced paddlers, or those who are simply curious about the outdoors. Travelers can sign up for the entire event or for the section or day(s) of their choice.
