Area high school students are invited to paddle for fun and prizes when the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Pennsylvania Student Leadership Council hosts its second annual Canoe Classic on the Susquehanna River on May 27, from noon to 5 p.m.

CBF-PA will provide all gear for the timed competition. The free event at Shank’s Mare Outfitters, 2092 Long Level Road, Wrightsville, York County, will also feature a live band, food, and a chainsaw carving demonstration.

In lieu of a registration fee, students are asked to commit to an action or advocacy project to help cleanup and protect Pennsylvania’s rivers and streams.

Students ages 14-18 can register by visiting the Canoe Classic webpage. Questions can be directed to: pastudentleaders@cbf.org.
