Two weekends of skills education, canal observation, paddling, laughing, and so much nerding out on everything from barges to bacteria counts, with some of the coolest, smartest, quirkiest, most fun people you'll have the pleasure to meet in this city. And then getting to hang out with them for the rest of the summer, on sunrise, sunset, and full moon paddles, helping New Yorkers get on the water for the first time, and so much more. Having a home you can go to all summer on the water with great folks really improves life in this city, even if it is part of a Superfund site. :)"I loved the playful camp spirit along with all the amazing skill sharing and diving (not literally!) into the historical and present-day stories of the Gowanus Canal. Making drizzly morning observations of the canal (herons! fish! mussels! condoms!) and watching the tides (we are a coastal town!) made me feel connected in a way I never experienced before. Danielle built a lovely community and inspired us to keep canoeing all season long!" - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/canoe-camp-for-grownups/100001986007443726 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, sports, summer-camps, kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - door_time: 2026-05-30T13:45:00Z - Duration: 4 hours - Location: Gowanus Dredgers Bunker - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 359.32, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Gowanus Dredgers Bunker - **lat**: 40.6671962 - **long**: -74.00007169999999 - **full address**: Gowanus Dredgers Bunker, 2 19th Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Canoe Camp (for Grownups!) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/a58ab825eca47907224542a169cead59e2a5ba3cad21e6dd0fd84ca0eae221d6-rimg-w1200-h600-dceac551-gmir.jpg?v=1774675050 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Canoe Camp (for Grownups!) being held? - **A:** Canoe Camp (for Grownups!) takes place on Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Gowanus Dredgers Bunker, 2 19th Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Canoe Camp (for Grownups!)? - **A:** Canoe Camp (for Grownups!) is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.
