Acadian Crossing: A Sea Kayak Odyssey
Ages: 15 - 18
Standing sentinel at the farthest outreach of Penobscot Bay, Isle au Haut is a secret part of Acadia National Park that few know about and even fewer get to visit. Our sea-faring tribe will hike to the top of her hills, swim in her fresh-water pools, and scramble the steep rocky outcroppings of her rugged coast – but to reach her shores will require 30 miles of island hopping as our sea kayaks dodge the wind, waves, fog, and tidal currents, each testing and building our skills. We’ll dive into the history of the region, of colonial settlers and of the indigenous who came first, and take in the pristine beauty and nature of Maine's farthest reaches. Come along on an serious ocean expedition that will give back as much as it demands of us!
