Hungry for Adventure Sojourn with CHOP Out Hunger
The Endless Mountains Heritage Region (EMHR) and CHOP Out Hunger are teaming up to host the “Hungry for Adventure Sojourn,” a two-day river trip from Laceyville to Tunkhannock for youth in grades 6-12. This two-day river journey will be held on Aug. 8 and 9, 2025.
Multiple students have already been selected from the CHOP program to join the sojourn through an essay contest, but we are now accepting participants to join the two-day sojourn at a fee of just $125. This fee includes the guided trip, a two-day kayak rental, paddle, life jacket, shuttling, lodging at Camp Lackawanna, all meals and snacks, educational programming, and fun activities!
Those who participate in the Hungry for Adventure Sojourn should meet at Endless Mountain Outfitters (7474 PA-187, Sugar Run, PA 18846) by 8:30 a.m. the morning of Aug. 8 for check-in. Following a welcome and safety briefing, students will be shuttled to Laceyville, where they will begin their paddle to Riverside Park in Tunkhannock.
Students will stay overnight at Camp Lackawanna in Tunkhannock, chaperoned by our staff and team of river guides, many of which also serve as teachers. The Hungry for Adventure Sojourn will not only educate students about kayaking and paddling safety, but we’ll also be incorporating guest speakers who will teach them about environmental stewardship and the history and ecology of the Susquehanna River. Due to a limited number of boat rentals and shuttle capacity through EMHR’s pair of water trail managers at Endless Mountain Outfitters (EMO) and Susquehanna Kayak and Canoe Rentals (SKCR), we are only capable of taking up to 70 students on these youth river trips, so register soon!
Once again, all students in grades 6-12 are welcome to participate!
