The weeklong paddle, organized by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, features educational programming, riverside camping, restoration projects, festive meals and meetings with elected officials.
Paddlers are welcome to participate in the entire weeklong paddle, or any portion of it.
The goal of the sojourn is to showcase the natural and human significance of the Patuxent while elevating awareness of its importance to the region and encouraging local residents to play an active role in its restoration. The Patuxent Sojourn is sponsored by BP Amoco with additional funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust. The event is modeled after the successful Susquehanna Sojourn, now in its 11th year.
