The Expedition went from the Conservancy’s home base on the Perkiomen Creek in Schwenksville, to the Schuylkill River and out to Fort Mifflin on the Delaware River.
PWCC is a free program for all local high school students that are interested in conservation and the environment.
Each year, from January through June, PWCC members participate in Conservancy volunteer events and projects.
At the end of the program cycle, PWCC students embark on the Perki-Bay Expedition.
The Perki-Bay Expedition is a fully self-sustained trip, consisting of five days of paddling and four nights of camping.
The Expedition is a resource awareness campaign, where our youth conservation corps students engage with local waterways from source to sea, essentially to where the waters of the Perkiomen Creek mix with the Delaware Bay.
The goal is to show that we are all connected through our waterways.
