Paddling Skills Day
Penobscot River Bangor area
Join local paddlers and Diversify Whitewater for a free day of paddling and celebrating with BIPOC, Queer, and allied paddlers. Participants will learn the basics of water safety and paddling techniques for packrafting, kayaking, and canoeing, and will hear stories of river history, environmental pollution, cleanup, and environmental justice movements. No experience or equipment is necessary to participate!
