Multi-Day
Kayak & Camping Weekend

Paddle and Pitch a Tent!

Join Outdoor Bound this weekend for a kayaking trip on the Delaware River. This trip is appropriate for beginner or intermediate kayakers. We will provide all the kayaking gear and instruction you need to make this trip unforgettable.

The Delaware River is the last major free flowing river on the east coast and flows through forested mountains, farmlands, small historic towns and extensive wetlands before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

The Delaware River hosts over 150, federally-protected bald eagles every winter from January to March. They migrate to this region from Canada and other points north for the open water and fresh fish available here. In the spring, most migrant eagles return to their nests and breeding habitats. But in recent years more eagle pairs have made this region their permanent home, often using the same nest year after year. As you kayak, look around for these majestic birds soaring above.

Saturday

Departing Saturday morning, we’ll get in 4 hours of river kayaking before making camp for the night.

As you paddle up to the campground, your Outdoor Bound guide will assist in the set up of camp and prepare you a delicious meal over the campfire. Showers are available on site. Relax and roast marshmallow for the evening by a crackling fire.

Sunday

Gear up for a morning of kayaking with a hearty breakfast. Paddle your kayak 8 miles, for a total of 12 miles for your weekend adventure. We will stop along the way to swim and sunbathe. After this last stretch of kayaking, we dine at a local favorite restaurant before heading back to Manhattan.

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
