The Panacea Paddle was established in 2010 to help scholarship our Charity Camps and Youth Leading the Way program. The Charity Camps are specifically designed to support individuals with special physical needs in order to provide accessibility to fun adventure trips. Youth Leading the Ways is designed to help youth gain academic success and reach true potential, throughout the development of “Educational”, “Human”, and “Outdoor” skills.
On June 9, 2012, Panacea Adventures, together with The World Paddling Association (WPA), The Great Outdoor Provision Company, Coastal Urge and others, invite the community to the Panacea Paddle, Region 6 East Coast Championship race. A day long festival with live music, GREAT raffle prizes, access to local restaurants and paddling competitions, to raise money for special needs populations to enjoy multi-day wilderness programming free of charge.
