Description
For kids entering 7th through the 9th grade.
Discover your own backyard by embarking on a 4-day comprehensive river class on our stunning, wild and free, Yampa River!
No previous river experience is required to participate in this class. The goal of this program is to empower youth to travel safely in whitewater river conditions, develop personal expedition behavior, and to fall in love one of the most important resources here in the Yampa Valley. This class will create opportunities for the youth of Northwest Colorado to get their foot in the door with not only beginner river skills but also on local river knowledge. Through the fundamentals of conservation and environmental education youth will be empowered to be stewards to our local river and adjacent agricultural, public and private lands.
Please contact Friends of the Yampa if you have any questions.
