It's a fun morning on the water, a great way to give back to our community, and a chance to spend time with a cool group while helping keep the Bolsa Chica Wetlands clean.

After the cleanup, we’ll head across the street to RIIP Brewery for a casual lunch and hangout.

More info for the day of:

Wear appropriate clothing.
While the two-person tandem kayaks we use are generally very stable, there is a very strong possibility that you will get wet in some capacity. We recommend wearing clothing that is either water resistant or that you don't mind getting wet and dirty. Bringing a spare change of clothes for after the event is also a good idea.

Bring sun protection.
There are no shade sources available while kayaking on the water, so please equip yourself accordingly. Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are all excellent ways to protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays, especially given the fact that the water's surface will reflect many of those rays up at you from below.

Bring water.
Due to the lack of shade, dehydration and overheating are a potential hazard. Hydration is key whenever you exert yourself physically, outdoors or otherwise, so please bring potable water to keep yourself hydrated while working. Bringing water in a reusable bottle is even better!

Protect your valuables.
As mentioned before, you are more than likely to get wet in some capacity during your event. We recommend taking precautions to protect your more water-sensitive personal belongings (cell phone, wallet, electronics, etc.). Using a water-resistant container or bag will help protect your items while out on the water, but alternatively you can just choose to keep those items safe in your car. In any case, we recommend planning ahead for this.

The Bolsa Chica Conservatory will provide gloves, trash bags, kayaks and grabbers! However they do accepts any brought in as donations.

Hope to see you out there!
