Join in the Fun & Make a Difference
Would you like to have some fun while helping clean trash out of the Great Miami River?
Date/Time
Then join the annual Clean Sweep of the Great Miami River scheduled for Saturday, July 19 beginning at 7:30 a.m. with a snack, safety orientation, and canoeing briefing.
Schedule
Teams set out by 8:15 a.m. in vehicles to specific locations along the river to canoe and clean the banks of the river on two to four mile sections, loading trash and debris into the canoes. Some sections require walking in the shallow water while pulling the canoe.
Because the sections are limited in length, most groups are finished and back at the gathering place by noon getting cleaned up and ready for lunch.
Lunch & a T-Shirt Included
A great lunch is served in the park in DeGraf where all participants receive a colorful T-shirt.
We Provide
We provide canoes, paddles, life jackets, water, food, and safety equipment.
Who Can Participate?
All participants must be 14 years old and those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or group leader.
Groups and families are welcome; this is a great family activity.
