UPDATED APRIL 18, 2020: Due to the social distancing restrictions associated with COVID-19, we have made the hard decision to cancel 2020 Sojourn. We are deeply saddened, but we will look forward to a time when we can share our rivers with you once again. Those that have already registered are entitled to a full refund. We will be contacting you soon, and we have shared a letter from the Sojourn Committee (link below). We will miss you. Thank you for patience and understanding.
