Below are general details for our two day-paddle options during the
2019 Connecticut River Pilgrimage. Come join us!
 

 

We ask that you come with your own canoe/kayak and paddle(s), PFD, and any other equipment and gear you feel necessary for a day on the water (i.e. water, sunscreen, hat, bug spray, etc.). 

 

For those who register prior to Wednesday, May 22, we will provide lunch and a River of Life Prayer Booklet!
