Canoemobile travels around the country so that a diverse array of students have the chance to experience the nation’s best outdoor field trip. In addition, Canoemobile offers free and open-to-the-public paddles in communities where it is working. These experiences change waterways into places of recreation, learning, and community-building. From San Francisco to the Bronx, communities welcome Canoemobile to serve more than 30,000 youth and adults of all backgrounds and abilities each year. https://www.wildernessinquiry.org/programs/about-the-canoemobile-program/
