Juneteenth Kayak and Wine Excursion

What a great way to celebrate Juneteenth by kayaking at a Black-owned, non-profit on the Patuxent River in Upper Marlboro, MD. Riverkeeper and CEO, Fred Tutman founded the Riverkeeper in 2004 to advocate for clean water in Maryland and to expose the Black community to water sports, such as kayaking. ACT3 Explorations is honored to bring you along and spend the morning on such historic grounds.

After kayaking, we'll enjoy wine and light refreshments at Robin Hill Farm & Vineyard. Bring your friends and family for a full day of adventure and fun to celebrate Juneteenth.
