On the Schuylkill River Sojourn, hundreds of kayakers have a special 5-day adventure while paddling the entire 112-mile stretch of the Schuylkill River, writes Todd Haas for ABC7.

The journey is not just about the adrenaline of being pitted against natural elements or the peaceful tranquility of being one with nature, however. It is also about learning more about the local environment and history of the communities along the river.

Schuylkill River Greenways has been partnering with Take it Outdoors Adventures for about 25 years to guide kayakers down the river.

Organizers say that event is open to anyone, no matter your age or your experience in a kayak. You can join the trip for how many days as you’d like.
