Paddle Tour of the Tidal Cooper River

Jun. 30, 2026

Join UrbanPromise for a youth-led paddle on the Tidal Cooper River! Paddlers will be paired with a RiverGuide aboard our beautiful, youth-built canoes as they explore the rich ecological and industrial history of the Delaware Watershed. Experience the river from a new perspective while hearing stories of Camden’s waterways, environment, and history shared by the young leaders who guide each trip.

Note: Summer paddles are seasonal, and the times are limited to the tide schedule of the Tidal Cooper River. If dates must be cancelled due to inclement weather (thunderstorms, excessive heat or rain, etc.), there is no guarantee that a make-up date may be scheduled this summer.
