Take in the beauty of the Connecticut River in a dragon boat and learn about the rich natural and cultural history in the stretch between Elwell Island and the boundary of Hatfield. The outing will begin with a paddling lesson by members of the Paradise City Dragon Boat team, followed by a paddle with commentary by co-director and naturalist Laurie Sanders about the environmental and human history of this part of the Connecticut River. This is an active outing. Participants are expected to be fit enough to paddle and to handle themselves in the boat. All equipment provided, no prior paddling experience necessary. For ages 18+. All proceeds shared between Historic Northampton and the Paradise Dragon Boat Team, which "paddles together to unleash fierce joy and strength in cancer survivors and supporters of all ages." |
