Time for their annual summer Hawaiian shirts- and skirts-themed picnic, boathouse work day and overnight camp-out! They are looking forward to the gathering of all their paddling friends and their families during the warm summertime months. Picnic will be held at Mohican Outdoor Center (MOC) near Blairstown, NJ. Event open to all.

Picnic will be potluck, with everyone contributing a dish or a refreshment: last names starting with letters A-N, please bring an appetizer or salad; last names starting with letters M-Z, please bring a dessert or a non-alcoholic beverage to share. BYOB. Canoe & Kayak Committee will supply the main course (BBQ burgers and hot dogs; veggie versions will be available). Cost is $10 for the picnic, $5 for camping. Children under 12 are free.

Activities for all, including swimming, trying different boats, practicing rescue techniques, throw-bag contests, Frisbee games, knot-tying demonstrations, hula-hoop contests, storytelling, and relaxing on the boathouse deck.
Bring your boat to share with others so they can demo different watercraft.

You will be paddling on the large, calm Catfish Pond at MOC, the site of their many canoe instruction courses. They will also host a Boathouse Work Day to help MOC spruce up and organize their Boathouse or other waterside work project - prepare to get wet!

Picnic/Boathouse Work Day will be held rain or shine.
