Delmarva Paddlers Retreat
About 120 Greenland-style sea-kayakers gather to celebrate the origins of kayaking and hone traditional kayaking techniques and skills. Activities range from on-water instruction, including the thirty some-odd types of ancient kayaking Rolls (still practiced in the frigid Greenland waters by a new generation of Greenlanders who seek to maintain a connection with their history and culture), along with rope gymnastics, seminars on traditional kayak construction and slideshow presentations and lectures.
