A unique experience! Accompanied by Lloyd Center educator-naturalists,
paddle in a canoe to the best places to seine for the many, varied species

WASHBURN ISLAND: Special Paddling and Overnight Camping Trip to Waquoit Bay,

House
We will camp out overnight on the shore of Washburn Island in undeveloped
Waquoit Bay, home of the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve!
Experience what the Cape was like before European settlement. Because this
trip takes place after the end of the regular camping season, we will avoid
the crowded conditions of the summer.
There is no rain date for this trip.

To register for trips, please call (508) 990-0505, extension 21. All events
are led by Cat Radcliffe, the Lloyd Center¹s ACA-certified paddling
instructor. Lloyd Center naturalists will accompany many of the trips,
contributing their understanding and knowledge of our region¹s natural
history. Please go to www.thelloydcenter.org for updated information on
various outdoor programs and other projects sponsored by the Lloyd Center.
The mission of the Lloyd Center for Environmental Studies is to facilitate
long-term conservation of our natural resources through education and
research, and to inspire and empower citizens to make wise environmental
management choices.
