The Delaware River Sojourn is a guided paddling trip on the wild and scenic Delaware River, combining canoeing/kayaking, camping and educational programming.

Normally held in June to celebrate National Rivers Month, the Sojourn is geared for families and individuals of all ages and skill levels.

Participants can sign up for the whole event or for the section(s) or day(s) of their choice.

By getting people out on the river and experiencing it first-hand, the Sojourn helps connect people with their local waterways and encourages stewardship of these shared resources.

The DRBC is a proud supporter of the Delaware River Sojourn and participates on its steering committee, which plans and organizes the annual not-for-profit event.
