MEET US AT THE RIVER! Hope Afloat practices Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30pm on Martin Luther King Drive in Fairmount Park. (click here for directions).

• What to wear? Comfortable clothing and shoes (old sneakers or no slip sport sandals) that you don’t mind getting wet – it’s a water sport!

• What to bring? A bottle of water, a butt pad (inexpensive garden kneeling pad), and a smile!

• What to expect? You will be given some basic safety and paddling instructions. Then you will get into the boat where you will experience the Schuylkill River and Fairmount Park from a very special perspective in the company of wonderful women!

JOIN US! Once you try it we know you will want to become a permanent paddler on this awesome team. As a member you can attend all practices, meetings, and special events. You will have a vote on policy and race decisions for the team.
