Registrations for this event are closed.

Activity Overview

Now that the sun is setting later, it’s time to dust off the canoes and paddle our way to Pelican Island!

Last week our Joeys learnt the ropes (and the paddles!), so this week they’ll put those new skills to the test out on the water. We’ll be joining forces with the Cubs for this adventure, so it’s going to be a big, splashy night.

Calling all parents! We’d love as many helping hands as we can get. You could:

  • Help our Joeys get in and out of the canoes (the trickiest and wobbliest part!)
  • Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, pop on a PFD and jump in a canoe to paddle alongside them
