We are teaming up with our partner group Adventure Untamed for this experience.  You will need to use the special link provided in the event description to participate.

Spend the day on the water with us! For this adventure, we’ll paddle to Bannerman’s Castle, a, beautiful abandoned military surplus warehouse. We’ll get the chance to see this unique castle-like structure from the water as we paddle on the Hudson. We’ll also keep an eye out for wildlife, especially local birds that call the area home. And of course, no water trip would be complete without a stop for ice cream on the way home. Join us on this exciting water adventure!

No prior experience necessary, but if you have never paddled expect the trip to feel like an INTERMEDIATE+-level trip. Don’t worry, we’ll teach you the basics and keep you comfortable!
