Discovery Day: Canoe and Conservation

  • Discovery Center 3401 Reservoir Drive Philadelphia, PA, 19121 United States (map)

Join us 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).

POBS will offer instruction in basic paddling skills and canoe safety.  Audubon educators will teach participants how to use binoculars to try and catch glimpses of the local flora and fauna that can be found within the Strawberry Mansion Reservoir’s unique urban aquatic ecosystem.

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.

Registration is first come, first served!
