About the event
Come float under a dark sky to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower light up the night sky. Location chosen for its dark sky and for the timing of the summersweet bloom, the air will smell like sweet flowers as we drift on the water.
All equipment included (Wilderness Systems Pungo 120, paddle, PFD, dry bag, cell phone pouch) or bring your own kayak or paddleboard.
Carpooling is encouraged due to the small parking lot size.
5% of the proceeds from this trip will be donated to the DarkSky Connecticut for their role in reducing light pollution. Learn more about their work at https://darksky.org/
