A little history on the naming of moons:
The naming of moons dates back to Native American tribes and European Settlers. Moons were named to keep track of the seasons and important upcoming events.
June’s Full Moon is named after the wild strawberries that start to ripen during this month. According to some sources, a European name for this early summer month was Rose Moon, and another was Hot Moon, for the beginning of the summer heat. Other sources quote Mead Moon as the Anglo-Saxon name because this was the time for mowing the meads, or meadows!
Cost:
$35/ person
$20/ Bring Your Own Kayak ($20 per person, includes a bottle of water, bug spray, glow sticks, a safe place to park your car, the guided paddle, and a lantern for your boat. Your boat must be registered with the state of Ohio.)
Refunds will not be given if it is cloudy and we do not get to see the moon. This is an outdoor experience and mother nature always wins!
If inclement weather is expected and we have to postpone the event you will have a choice of getting a raincheck for the next full moon paddle, credit, or being issued a refund.
