Kayaking Day - Sat, July 11 - 10am-2pm

Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse will host the next Summer 2009 Family Kayaking Day at the Maxwell Place Boathouse on Saturday, July 11th from 10am – 2pm.

Hoboken Boathouse – in partnership with the City of Hoboken and Downtown Boathouse of New York City – has sponsored free kayaking in Hoboken for the past six years, serving over 3,100 paddlers. The Hoboken Boathouse is a non-profit organization supported by volunteers, boathouse space from the City of Hoboken, and borrowed kayaking equipment from the Downtown Boathouse.

Kayaking Days offer a unique opportunity for Hoboken residents and visitors to experience the city from the Hudson River. The programs are free, open to all, and require no reservations. Trained kayakers will be on-hand to provide tips for new paddlers. The boathouse is located in Maxwell Place Park near the intersection of Sinatra Drive and Maxwell Place (metered parking is available on the east side of Sinatra Drive).

For all participants planning to kayak, please be able to swim (a must), come prepared to get a little wet (bathing suit, sandals, etc) - and don't forget your sunscreen! Hoboken Boathouse will provide all necessary equipment (kayak, paddle, life jacket).

In addition to this weekend, Hoboken Boathouse will sponsor programs on the following dates:

Saturday, July 25, 10am-2pm
Saturday, August 15, 1pm-5pm

Please note that all programs are tentative based on weather and water conditions, and are subject to cancellation.
