32nd Annual Delmarva Paddler Retreat
Save the Date:
October 7-10, 2021
We couldn't hold the 31st Annual Delmarva Paddlers Retreat 2020 at Camp Arrowhead this year, but we are planning to be back there in 2021
Thank you to everyone that participated in Octobers Virtual auction. Rick and Walt at Camp Arrowhead were visibly moved by your generosity.
The Camp is also going through some changes. The dining hall will be gone and the new one under construction by the time were return in October. There is a new pavilion on site down by the craft shop. It will be used as a temporary dining hall for us. Right now it looks like the food will be from various caterers. The new dining hall will be state of the art, with bathrooms and heat.
Stay tuned, we'll be regularly posting updates.
We Hope too see everyone in October 2021,
stay safe.

Another successful Delmarva is behind us.
Thank you all.
Where do we start? 8 gorgeous kayaks were built and launched. The workshops were exceptional. The on water classes were well received. The weather wasn’t perfect but was very workable. Susan Conrad was spotted several times having too much fun. Sign up for her newsletter and let her know we want her to return next year to tell us about her latest adventure.
Mike Hamilton keeps coming up with new ideas, we can't wait till next year.
Have you seen Peter's Videos?
What if the kayak build was reality TV? Peter and friends have the answer!
And for good measure here's Peter's video tribute to Delmarva 2019
Special Guest Susan Conrad,
a confused woman and who can't make that final commitment to go with Greenland.
We're going to have to help her out.
Click the image to hear her tell about it.
Accomplished paddler and writer Susan Conrad will be our Special Guest this year. A ‘Women Who Paddle Ambassador’, among many other paddling achievements she has paddled the Inside Passage and written a book about it. She’ll be our presenter Friday night, ‘Get Outside, Find Your Inside’. She wants to learn the Greenland paddle. We think she’s coming to the right place. We will have copies of her book on hand for purchase as a fundraiser for Delmarva.
2018 Delmarva Paddlers Retreat
Just a little reflection on the 30th Annual Delmarva. Peter couldn't make it but with a lot of help from his friends he still put this together.

Delmarva Paddlers Retreat 2018 is over and it was one of the best and from the feedback so far it looks like that was pretty much a unanimous consensus.
Well Done Mike and the rest of the Team!
