Kayaking in the Delaware River
We offer free kayaking programs for Camden residents from April through October, including annual “I Paddle Camden” events. Check our Calendar for upcoming events. We also offer fee-based kayaking adventures for corporate team-building and other groups on a limited basis. Contact us for more information.Fishing at Cramer Hill Park
Learn how to fish and learn about aquatic life in the Delaware River at the same time! We hold regular programs in Camden to teach children and families how to fish, and spend time talking about the fish they catch as well as other life in the river, and what we can all do to protect their habitats. Children under 16 are permitted to participate in our programs without a NJ fishing license, with assistance from an adult. Anyone age 16+ will require a NJ fishing license to participate (see https://dep.nj.gov/njfw/fishing/freshwater/buy-a-license/ for more information).
