EMHR’s Youth Heritage Sojourn

EMHR’s Youth Heritage Sojourn

Calling all students in grades 6-12! The Endless Mountains Heritage Region is partnering again with Endless Mountains Outfitters for our annual Youth Heritage Sojourn! The event will run from Thursday, June 18, to Saturday, June 20, 2026. Led by EMO owner and Towanda Area School District teacher Keith Brown, this three-day adventure is a fun-filled educational experience for students wishing to learn about kayaking safety and local history, all while making new friends and enjoying the outdoors!

Participants should meet at Endless Mountains Outfitters (7474 PA-187, Sugar Run, PA 18846) at 8 a.m. on Thursday, June 18. From there, they will begin their 32-mile adventure over the three-day, two-night period from EMO to Tunkhannock. Students will stay at Camp Lackawanna, located at 1219 Vosburg Road, Tunkhannock, PA, for both evenings. A detailed packing list will be provided through email to participants before the event. The $200 cost for this trip will provide students with a 3-day kayak rental, two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, lodging at Camp Lackawanna, educational programming, insurance and shuttling, not to mention a memorable and educational summer event with the opportunity to meet new friends! Students should be picked up by parents at noon at Riverside Park in Tunkhannock (112b River St, Tunkhannock, PA 18657) OR back at EMO at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 20.
