This program delves into themes of industry, waterways, and the environment, with conversation in the galleries and on the Messalonskee River. We’ll begin at the museum with a guided gallery experience, followed by a light lunch, before proceeding to the canoe launch site. The 2½-hour canoe trip will be guided by Ryan Linehan, associate director of campus life and director of outdoor education at Colby. This program is designed for ages 18+, but children ages 7+ may attend if accompanied by an adult. Due to limited space, pre-registration is required; online registration begins Monday, Sept. 2.
Mild/medium exertion level, participants should be comfortable with river/water environments. This trip will paddle two miles on flat water.
This program is part of the museum’s wellness initiative, Let the Art Inspire, which includes a variety of programs that connect mind, body, and art in innovative ways.
