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.
