About this event

Our annual spring weekend will be held at the West River Retreat Center on the West River near Galesville, Maryland. We'll be paddling the calm waters of the West and Rhode rivers. The Rhode River is home to the largest block of contiguous preserved land on the Western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. For the more adventurous, there will be forays out into the Chesapeake Bay.  A visit to the iconic Thomas Point lighthouse will be on the paddling agenda.  

Housing will be indoors for everyone in two of the center's lodges. Each lodge has several rooms with bunk beds and a common area. The center will also provide us with breakfasts and dinners Saturday through Monday morning. We'll kick things off with a cookout Friday evening.

As always, we'll break up into pods, with paddlers joining groups that fit their kayaking preferences and abilities. Those who want to take a break from paddling might make a visit to Annapolis. 

The cost will be $182 per person. Reservations and billing will take place beginning in January.
