Our theme this year is "Bridging the Delaware Valley - Connecting Communities." We are excited about this theme, as it will allow us to highlight the bridges over the river, but also the broader concept of connection across the river, connection to the river, and across other various boundaries.
The Sojourn is a week-long paddling trip on the wild and scenic Delaware River, combining canoeing/kayaking, camping, educational programs, historical interpretation, and more. Participants can sign up for the whole event or for the section or day(s) of their choice. The Sojourn is for novice to experienced paddlers, or those who are simply curious about the outdoors.
Studies and research have shown that being active outside can help combat certain health problems, as well as teach important lessons of conservation and valuation of our vast natural resources. And, more importantly, you do not need to travel far to be with nature; the Delaware River is close by, a gas tank away from about 23% of the nation's population!
We hope that many will join us for this ultimate "staycation," which celebrates 16 years of fun, family, friends, and the great outdoors!
