Juneteenth at Sebago

This week Sebago hosted Outdoor Afro on Juneteenth day! Volunteers helped everyone get on the water in a variety of watercraft, and trip leaders accompanied guests in paddling and rowing. A big group left the dock in kayaks, followed by smaller groups rowing the gig, and other groups of 6 or 8 took turns paddling the big canoes. CBS New York covered the event on the evening news!
