This campout will focus on the Ipswich River.

We will start the evening by setting up our tents at the top of the hill, and then head down to the river for an evening canoe trip.

We'll look and listen for otters, beavers, muskrats, and owls.

After our return, we'll cook up s'mores around the fire pit.

Then it's off to bed so we can wake up for an early-morning breakfast (provided), and then we'll paddle downstream to look for turtles, frogs, herons, and creatures that live above and below the water's surface.

Basic canoeing instruction will be provided, along with all canoeing equipment.
Instructions and Directions:
A confirmation with a list of equipment to bring will be sent.

The campout begins at 4:30 pm on Saturday, September 23 and ends at 9:00 am on Sunday, September 24.

Please note: there is no rain date for this campout.
Registration is required.
