DAVETREK ADVENTURES

 

 

This year on Sunday  June 7 we are having our 11th Annual Boating and BBQ event  - usually its on Memorial Day weekend, this year delayed because of Shavuot. YOU CAN DO BOATING AND BBQ OR JUST BBQ, at your option. Most We have a nice balanced mix of singles, families and couples of all ages...

 

NEW ADDITIONS THIS YEAR -

 

CHOICE OF LONGER PADDLE—YOU MUST ARRIVE EARLIER FOR THIS OPTION—described below…!!!!

 

See below for the details.

 

The event features the following elements, weather permitting:

 

** Canoeing & Kayaking on the scenic Delaware River

** BBQ

 

 You can do various combinations of the above events, and all events are in Western NJ near PA, within 90 minutes of Manhattan.  The Delaware River is a lovely place to go boating as you will see below. Some years we  have had over 70 people for boating, over 120 people for the BBQ. Register early and often, as this will max out!

 

Here is the schedule of events

 

On Sunday June 7

Events:
1)
Canoeing & Kayaking on the Delaware River at the Water Gap-

Arrive at 9:15 for longer paddle, 9:45 am for standard paddle.

90 minute drive from Manhattan and Northern, NJ, 1:45 hrs from Brooklyn & Queens,  2 hrs from Long Island.  Arrive by 9:30 for longer paddle and by 10 AM for shorter paddle. We have a large but limited number of kayaks, so don't get closed out - RSVP asap!
2) A
BBQ near the Delaware Water Gap - Sunday PM/Evening

about 4 PM, for meat eaters and vegetarians—you can also swim in the Delaware, enjoy volleyball and other sports, etc.


For those with children or who do not wish to go boating,  you can do other things in and near the Delaware Water Gap, very close to where we will be BBQ’ing.

 

One  place to consider is Mill Brook Village, where they recreate a 19th century village,  sometimes with people in costume. This is open both on Sunday and Monday, and you can see the buildings. Also, there is Peter’s Valley Crafts Center, which has arts and crafts on display and classes of all types.  These are very close to the location we are BBQ’ing at.

On the PA side, about 30 minutes away, you can visit Bushkill Falls, ‘The Niagara of PA’, which is also quite nice.

 

If you prefer, you can go directly to the park in the late morning on Sunday, and meet us later in the park for the BBQ.
