Supported Programs
In addition to our many North American and international trips for adults, Wilderness Inquiry provides a variety of programs and services designed to promote outdoor pursuits for youth, families, people with disabilities, and others. Programs include:
-
Canoemobile brings classroom learning outside, engaging youth and young adults to improve school performance, cultivate a stewardship ethic, and create pathways to pursue academic and career opportunities in the outdoors.
-
Many families have an interest in sharing adventures together, but lack the means or know-how to do outings that include a child or parent with a disability. Project FIT provides additional support in the form of staff, personal care attendants, adapted equipment and financial assistance to help make the outdoors accessible for all families.
-
Gateway To Adventure is an innovative program designed to provide people with cognitive disabilities the opportunity to learn and practice the kinds of social and practical skills typically needed to have a safe, enjoyable outdoor adventure experience.
-
Creates pathways to employment for underserved urban youth and youth with disabilities through training and mentorship. During our Outdoor Career Academy, youth earn credentials in First Aid, CPR, Leave No Trace, and more. We partner with outdoor organizations and agencies to connect youth to jobs and internships.

In addition to our trips, Wilderness Inquiry participates in many community events throughout the year. We hope you will join us at these public events and get involved.
