What type of Kayak trip is this? Join us on a 2 hour, 3 mile journey on the Potomac to fundraise for the Iraqi Student Project Baltimore.
Where are we kayaking? Our Kayak-athon is sponsored by River Riders in Harper's Ferry, WV. It's 1 1/2 hours from Baltimore or DC. River Riders is providing kayakers all equipment rental, and a shuttle transportation to and from their location to the river for a substantial discount (the regular trip is $60 and we are getting a 50% discount on their rates).
When are we going? Can I handle it? This is a perfect trip for beginner kayakers and others with more experience. Guides will be sent down the river with us to ensure it's a safe and fun event. What if I have my own kayak, oar and lifejacket? We will be using inflatable kayaks so if yours is not inflatable, you may still need to rent a kayak from River Riders (depending on your skill level). Either way, you will still be charged by River Riders (via ISP) for shuttle transportation (to/from Rivers Riders to the Potomac), but in that case you only pay $20 to participate! Why is ISP hosting this Kayak-athon?
The Annual ISP Baltimore Kayak-athon is our chapter's largest annual fundraiser.
In 2009 and 2010, we raised an average of $4,000. This year we hope to continue that trend or push to new heights and fundraise over $5,000.
How do I help ISP reach its goals? We suggest each kayaker raises a minimum of $100, but the more we raise, the better! Our budget is approximately $63,500 over the 4 years to support one Iraqi student in Baltimore. This is an exciting and rewarding way to support the cause!
