[IndianaTrails] River School training trip

[tom mcCain]

This is about an opportunity people on this list may want to take, 
specifically related to water trails.

River School is an on-the-water educational program for high school 
students provided by Friends of the White River, Indiana Department of 
Natural Resources, Purdue Cooperative Extension and others. These raft 
trips take place on White River on the northside of Indianapolis and 
are described in detail at http://www.river-school.org. If you already 
are familiar with Arrowhead Expeditions in northern Indiana, this is 
very much the same sort of program.

Each year in June, we schedule a teacher training day and this year, 
that day is open to parks and recreation professionals as well. This 
event is free (other than your travel and brown bag lunch). Best of 
all, trip leaders will provide information about grants available to 
parks and recreation departments and to physical education teachers to 
purchase boating or fishing equipment for their own on-the-water 
educational programs.

The day is lots of fun, the trainers will demonstrate several hands-on 
outdoor learning activities and you'll get to paddle on a remarkably 
pretty and surprisingly remote section of White River.

We have an event flyer in Word that is posted at 
http://www.river-school.org/resources/2006_RS-training.doc, or you can 
visit the River School web site and click on the small banner ad that 
says "We're looking for YOU!" Sign up soon -- registration is limited 
to 30 participants.

Hope to see you there. I'll be the one lurking in the canoe, taking 
your picture.
