For those not able to spend the whole weekend in Acadia, join us for about two hours of canoeing on the Charles River, where we'll have a picnic with cookies!
No prior canoeing experience required. We'll provide canoes, paddles, personal flotation devices, and cookies! You bring sun protection, at least one liter of water, lunch/snacks, and possibly more cookies or other food to share.
We'll meet Sunday May 24 at 10:00am sharp outside the MITOC Boathouse (Building N52 on Windsor St.), and wheel the canoes about a mile to Broad Canal. At the end, we'll wheel them back and clean the canoes. Allow 4 hours for the whole trip.
Cost: After receiving email confirmation from us that you are on the trip, pay the $15 canoe trip fee under Trip and Event Fees.
