Betsy Powell, head coach of Paradise City Dragon Boat, will begin the outing with a paddling lesson. Once we’re a ways up river, Laurie Sanders, naturalist & co-director of Historic Northampton, will teach us about the environmental and human history of the stretch of river between Elwell Island and the Hatfield boundary
.

All equipment provided, no prior paddling experience necessary.

This is an active outing. Participants are expected to paddle, and be fit enough to handle themselves in the boat. For ages 18+.
