​
Meeting point: Bridge on Porters Crossing Rd in Snow Hill, MD
Address: Porters Crossing Rd, Snow Hill, MD
Paddling on the upper part of the Pocomoke River feels like going through a jungle of huge Bald Cypress trees, waterlilies, and tangled vines. This part of the river is home to beavers, otters, and lots of turtles and birds. The launch area is a smooth riverbank which makes it easy to climb in and out of the boats. We will provide kayaks, a canoe, and life vests. No paddling experience is needed. Please wear water shoes and clothes that may get wet (water dripping off paddles!) and bring bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, and water. Please note that this event is free for Coast Kids members and costs $15 per person for non-members.​
Fishing, Fish Printing, Outdoor Games, and Verena’s Goodbye
Date: Saturday, July 12, 2025
Time: 3pm
Meeting point: Hazel Outdoor Discovery Center
Address: 4025 Cooper Rd in Eden, MD
The Hazel Outdoor Discovery Center is one of the best locations for nature exploration! Try out fishing, look for frogs and toads, watch dragonflies, listen to birds, create beautiful fish prints, play backyard games, and make giant bubbles. This will be Verena’s last Coast Kids family event. After almost 20 years of monthly events, school programs and summer camps, she’ll be taking an extended break in Europe. All Coast Kids members are welcome to stay for a potluck dinner and campfire.
If you have fishing gear, please bring your own. Please wear sunscreen, bug spray, and a hat.
