As an explorer I enjoy stepping out of the box and doing things that weren’t a possibility for a young black kid living in the inner city. Now that I have the ability to create my own path, I make it my duty to step out of my comfort zone and take on adventures that will create memories to last a lifetime.

Thankfully, like most cities Philadelphia offers and array of family friendly activities for free that will take your breath away. Here at River Garden kayaking is offered for ages 6 and up during the summer and for more experienced individuals, you can pay a monthly fee to access their boathouse, kayaks, equipment, and river maps.

I was invited out by some friends to try kayaking for the first time and wanted to you all on the journey with me so sit back and enjoy. Please Like, Subscribe and Share.
