Get ready to follow 9 city-girls from Philadelphia as they experience the Delaware River up close and personal. With funding from the National Park Foundation (NPF) the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) is proud and excited to offer this once in a lifetime experience to these young women.

Grateful


This is a little something that Betsy, the girl's leader, wrote in her journal:

Grateful

to the river that flows
cool on my feet
to share this experience
with wonderful girls
to see some wildlife i have
never seen-a beaver with her baby!
to be given this opportunity
to Heidi and Jessica for their
hard work and leadership-
so I can also be"one of the
girls" in some ways
to have met Ryan, Mike, Mark
and Ruth.
