The Russian River Teen Trek is the chance for teens to connect with and grow to love the beautiful river from the uniquely fun view of a kayak! Our experienced educators will guide youth in learning new skills centered on safely paddling themselves down the river and studying the rich flora and fauna of our watershed, while making new friends, building confidence, and disconnecting from screens for a few days.

Staff
The Trek will be staffed by a stellar crew of experienced outdoor educators and water lovers.

We will also be joined by a select team of dedicated and experienced adult volunteers excited to share their knowledge and love of the scenic Russian River. All our staff and volunteers have been fingerprinted and gone through a thorough background check. We will always have a minimum 1 adult to 5 youth ratio on the water.
