Summer Teacher Paddle

Join Wild Rivers Conservancy, National Park Service, and teachers like YOU by diving deep into our K-12 environmental education curriculum, Rivers Are Alive. We will spend the day exploring engaging activities, educating ourselves on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and its watershed, and reconnecting with nature through outdoor adventures.

Our summer workshop will get us on the St. Croix River, networking and having great conversations about our Rivers Are Alive programming, as we kayak from Interstate State Park to Osceola Landing. When we make it back to Osceola Landing, you’ll experience 1-2 of our classes, based on the interests of our participants. Prepare for a day spent outdoors while discovering more opportunities for learning for you and your students!

This is a fully supported event. You will be provided with premium kayaks, paddles, and PFDs, as well as a shuttle service to the start of the paddle. Please bring your own lunch. Snacks will be available.
