Project snapshot
We are a part of Kayak Staten Island, a remarkable organization dedicated to promoting a deeper connection with our waterfronts through kayaking. With launch sites in Tottenville and Stapleton, we offer free and affordable kayaking to enrich our community?s engagement with the environment. Our vision is to inspire our community members to be more invested in and connected to our local waterfronts, by providing them with the opportunity to experience the water, enjoy the island from a unique perspective, and learn an exciting new skill. We believe that our public kayaking program is more effective than simply talking about climate resilience or environmental issues, as it fosters a personal sense of appreciation and responsibility for our natural resources.
