Lenape Challenge

@ Perkiomen Creek

Saturday, April 26

The Lenape Challenge is the area's premiere adventure race experience that combines 5 miles of trail runnin' and root jumpin' with 2.5 miles of creek rippin', paddle splittin' fun!

The 2025 course starts at the Conservancy and takes you on a romp over hill and dale around Pennypacker Mills and on to the Perkiomen Trail. You'll race through Schwenksville then up and over Spring Mount. After a leg-bucklin' decent you'll dive into a boat for a shoulder-bustin', hull-spilittin' paddle down the Perkiomen Creek. The race finishes with a dash over the line at Red Fox Park!!

ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?!

Perkiomen Flood Study

Stormwater Mitigation Solutions

For Gray, Green, Large and Small Project Types

What's Gray Infrastructure?

What's Green Infrastructure?

Why does it matter?

Stormwater management is crucial for maintaining safe and healthy urban environments, mitigating flooding, and protecting water quality. Implementation of both “gray” and “green” stormwater infrastructure at multiple scales (large & small projects) can work to achieve these goals.

When it comes to immersive, hands-on experiences, no one can beat the Conservancy's Summer Camps!

Our Academy gets campers out in the woods and down in the creek, while the Floating Classroom helps participants learn real-world field skills (while having a blast!).
