Paddle under the full moon’s glow and have fun with animals of the night, full moon rituals, folklore, and spooky stories!
Full moons have always played a role in shaping our culture from the ocean tides to werewolves to seasonal harvesting. The moon has always held a sense of mysticism for humankind. Join us for our Full Moon Paddles where we will paddle under the full moon’s glow and have fun with these fantastical topics. These programs are hosted in Cramerton or Gastonia, North Carolina.
