"The Mississippi River Explorers program is a great way for our students to explore a river that runs through our own backyard. The presenters are great with our students, energetic, and knowledgeable in their field. This program offers a high quality experience for our students and provides a virtual step out of our classroom in these times when in person field trips are not possible.”

“You cannot imagine how happy I am to be able to experience the Boundary Waters Canoe Area again. I cried tears of joy at night. I hope to be able to do it again in the future, but for now, I have a great memory and proved to myself that I could do more than I ever expected!

- Lynn, 2020 Participant

“‘Unbelievable!’  ‘This was a great day!’ ‘I learned so much!’ These were just some of the things that kids told me about their Canoemobile day.  The kids were engaged, laughing, team building, problem solving, learning, trying new things, and then laughing some more. Thank you! It was not only a perfect day, but a life changing day for our kids!”

-Cassie, 6th Grade Special Education Teacher

“I did it! I was able to test my limits, and I made it! This trip boosted my positive beliefs about myself. I felt that I was able to reclaim a part of myself that has been absent for a long time; I got to live from my strengths rather than my disabilities. It gives me the confidence to go on a river canoe trip with my family.”
