July Kaw River Camp

Join us Saturday July 6th for an epic river adventure! We will paddle the Kaw on Saturday afternoon from Farimont Park River Access in Manhattan to St. George. We'll find the perfect sandbar for camping along this 12 mile section of the Kaw. This will be a relaxing afternoon with plenty of stops on sandbars. Once we choose our spot, we'll get set up for camping and enjoy dinner and time together around the fire. Be ready for some FIREWORKS before bedtime! Sunday morning, we'll wake up to coffee and breakfast around the fire and more social time relaxing before paddling the rest of the way to St. George to get off river.
