Experiential Education River Trips
A great way for your students to bond with each other, gain skills, and connect with nature
On a Boreal River experiential education and leadership expedition, your group will bond as a team and grow as individuals. Participants will be challenged to step out of their comfort zones, learning skills to navigate whitewater and live in the wilderness—and building confidence along the way.
Whether you are from a school, community organization, or group with specialized needs, you’ll get a customized trip that meets your program’s objectives.
