After the walk we will socialize and participate in Discovery Day activities and resources.

Discovery Day: Canoe and Conservation (10 AM – 4 PM)

Join us for Discovery Day at the Discovery Center for Canoeing and Conservation! This is a joint program offered by Philadelphia Outward Bound School (POBS) and Audubon Mid-Atlantic (AMA).

• As participants make their way around the reservoir in canoes, AMA guides will help spot wildlife and offer some interpretation of the history of the reservoir.
• POBS will offer coaching to help participants paddle and steer canoes efficiently and safely.
• Walk ups- registration is first come, first served!
• Family-friendly event
• Other activities and opportunities to explore for those who may not want to canoe.
