Youth kayaking/fishing program is adding participants to its wait list

6/16/2021

The Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association's HERYN (Helping Engage our River's Youth with Nature) Program is offering six youth kayaking/fishing program days next week June 21-26) at a campground near New Columbia.

There is currently an opening for a 10-13 year-old female participant on Thursday, June 24. The spot will be filled on a first-registered, first-filled basis. We are also taking names for possible backup options if someone else has to cancel last-minute. The program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a rotation between kayaking and fishing instruction by some of the region's best outdoors instructors and a team of dedicated helpers.

The program is free for participants (ages 10-13) thanks to assistance from a Fish and Boat Commission R3 grant along with a number of donations and other assistance. It includes a full day's instruction and lunch for participants.

To add your child to the wait list, please fill out the following form. For more information on HERYN, visit our landing page.

I'm so glad there's still a chance for a young person to get outdoors and learn these skills, because connecting the next generation with our waterways is the best way to ensure the Susquehanna is protected for years to come.
