For Youth

The UWCA program creates great adventures for youth. Our typical program is a four hour, guided paddle down the Mississippi River, complete with hands-on activities and interpretive talks by National Park Service rangers. We provide all the equipment you need. No experience necessary.
Our trips down the mighty Mississippi transform the lives of youth giving them a lasting connection with the natural world. It’s a day that will last a lifetime.
