Volunteer

Three steps to your first river day

  • 1. Sign the waiver. One quick form covers you for the season — sign it online, or print a copy to bring with you. Group leaders: print one per person.
  • 2. Pick an event. Open events are listed on our events page and announced in the Facebook group, with dates, meeting spots, and what to bring. Boat trips fill up — seats are limited by how many the canoes hold.
  • 3. Show up. We provide gloves, tools, canoes, and life vests. You bring water, sun protection, and shoes that can get wet.

Bringing a school class, scout troop, church group, or work team? We also run private events booked just for your group — email us and we'll set one up.

Your donation shows up to every event.

Fuel for the canoe trailer, trash bags by the hundred, gloves in every size — small gifts keep the whole operation moving.
