Quick question which is bigger Yosemite National Park or the Pine Lands National Reserve?
Obviously the answer is on our doorstep. The New Jersey Pine Barrens are also the largest source of pure fresh water in the United States.
We are planning a journey through the heart of this unique region the way the pioneers did it. We will follow the Wading River by canoe on a two day adventure that should be memorable and fun.
Our plan is as follows:-
We will meet at Friends School at 8:00am on Saturday Morning. Our river journey begins at Hawkins Bridge on the Wading River. We will paddle down to Bodine Field at Wharton State Forest where we will camp for the night. On Sunday morning after striking camp we will continue paddling to our destination at Chips Folly Campground. We will arrive back at West Chester around 5pm on Sunday (Home Drop-Off).
The Wading River as its name suggests is mostly shallow. The current is gentle and, most important, going our way. This is an ideal introduction to canoeing and no previous experience is required. However all scouts must be able to swim and have passed at least the Red, White and Blue swimming test. We will help make arrangements if your son needs to take this test.
The cost of the weekend will be $55 which includes canoe rental, paddles, life jacket, transport, site fees and food.
This will be a popular weekend and camp site reservations are filling fast so we need to firm up our reservations very quickly. Permission slips have been emailed to all scouts. Please check your calendar and return the permission slip by June 2.
If you have any questions please call or email Mr. Deaville.
