18th Annual Delaware River Sojourn

Sunday, June 24 - Saturday, June 30, 2012: Adventures on the Delaware

The Sojourn is a seven-day guided paddling trip on the wild and scenic Delaware River, combining canoeing/kayaking, camping, educational programs, historical interpretation, and more. It is for novice to experienced paddlers of all ages; participants can sign up for the whole event or for the section(s) or day(s) of their choice.

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. In this region, there is no 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 consider taking part in this fun, ultimate "staycation," which celebrates family, friends, and the great outdoors! Come out and join us for our eighteenth annual adventure paddling the Delaware!

The Delaware Sojourn Family lost a dear friend with the passing of Richard 'Dick' Rhodes on April 17, 2012, and the Delaware Basin lost a true river steward and safety hero.  Information about his life celebration and details on how to support the Richard Rhodes River Rescue Scholarship Fund can be found at http://nationalcanoesafetypatrol.com/. The Rhodes family are in our thoughts and prayers.
