This is the 6th of 6 learning opportunities for homeschooled children in our area, presented in partnership with Unbound Field Trips. Pre-registration is required. Please sign up here or by e-mailing director@chemungriverfriends.org.

Join us at Grove Street Boat Launch in Elmira for a river safety discussion, a life jacket fitting, and a paddle lesson from our kayak instructor. Students will be out on the river, staying near the boat launch, and parents and caregivers are encouraged to join them in the kayak during this lesson.

Please bring water shoes, a small towel, a hat, shorts, sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle. Participants should be comfortable being in shallow water, which may be cold and will definitely be wet. Children who don’t wish to go in the water will still get to see and touch the critters we find, though!

Suggested donation is $6 per child and spots are limited. This program is geared towards ages 6 – 10.

All parents will have to fill out a liability waiver form prior to children participating in FCRW activities. The liability waiver is available here.
