The Juniata River Sojourn is an annual, multi-day canoe and kayak trip on the Juniata River. Why hold a sojourn? To promote river stewardship and local natural resource awareness! Attendees participate in a variety of daily and nightly programs ranging from presentations on local history, watershed science, art, and culture, to campfire sing-a-longs, folk music performances, and dancing.
The 2012 annual sojourn will be held on the Frankstown/Little Juniata Branches and will be held from June 15 to 20.
Registrations will open in April
Dear Sojourners: Due to reduced funding sources, the escalated costs of the contracted service and supplies, and the limited number of participants (60) for the 2012 sojourn, the JCWP sojourn committee was forced to make a change this year.
The total cost of the full package (Friday thru Tuesday) is $300, which includes all meals, shuttles, programs, and camping as well as a complementary membership to JCWP.
A weekend package from Friday to Sunday includes camping Friday and Saturday night, shuttles, and meals Saturday and Sunday for $175 per person.
A one day (Tuesday) trip includes shuttle, breakfast and Lunch for a cost of $60 per person.
Note; If you only want to
participate for fewer days, you may do so, however no refunds/discounts can be
made. To do so you must notify JCWP 1 week prior to departure of any
changes.
You can provide your own canoe or kayak or rent one for the Sojourn from Rothrock Outfitters.

The sojourn not only offers a great week of paddling but also presents a chance to celebrate our river communities! You learn about local history and current river conservation projects. Even if you are not an experienced paddler, but want to join in on the fun, you can attend the daily and nightly programs which are all open to the public!
