SUMMARY:Perki-Bay Expedition: A Youth Sojourn from Source to Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Perki-Bay Expedition is a one-of-a-kind youth paddling experience. After successfully completing a 6-month internship\, participants embark on a wilderness-style expedition through the heart of Philadelphia. The Perki-Bay Expedition is a 5-day\, 50-mile\, self-supported sojourn\, where participants paddle loaded canoes from the Perkiomen Creek\, down the Schuylkill River and onto the Delaware River – essentially tracing the waters of the Perkiomen to where they meet the sea. Along the way\, students note land-use changes and engage with a wide variety of community groups. This trip is a true catalyst and many students walk away feeling empowered to tackle the many environmental challenges that plague our waterways.

SUMMARY:Hungry for Adventure Sojourn
DESCRIPTION:The Endless Mountains Heritage Region (EMHR) and CHOP Out Hunger are teaming up to host “Hungry for Adventure\,” a two-day river trip from Laceyville to Tunkhannock for youth in our four-county region who are enrolled in CHOP programs. This two-day river journey will be held on Aug. 8 and 9\, 2025. Students selected through an essay contest we are hosting will meet at Endless Mountain Outfitters in Sugar Run (Bradford County) on the morning of the event and be shuttled to Laceyville\, where they will begin their paddle to Riverside Park in Tunkhannock.\nStudents will stay overnight at Camp Lackawanna in Tunkhannock\, chaperoned by our staff and team of river guides\, many of which also serve as teachers. “Hungry for Adventure” will not only educate students about kayaking and paddling safety\, but we’ll also be incorporating guest speakers who will teach them about environmental stewardship and the history and ecology of the Susquehanna River. Due to a limited number of boat rentals and shuttle capacity through EMHR’s pair of water trail managers at Endless Mountain Outfitters (EMO) and Susquehanna Kayak and Canoe Rentals (SKCR)\, we are only capable of taking up to 70 students on these youth river trips.
