2026 Fall Teacher Workshop
Join Wild Rivers Conservancy, National Park Service, and teachers like YOU by diving deep into our K-12 environmental education curriculum, Rivers Are Alive. We will spend the day exploring engaging activities, educating ourselves on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and its watershed, and reconnecting with nature through outdoor adventures.
Our Fall workshop will get us on the Namekagon River, focusing on strengthening connections between you and the Riverway to be able to bring back knowledge to your students. We’ll then drive over to the Namekagon River Visitor Center to see what it has to offer. RAA classes may be explored depending on teacher interests.
This is a fully supported event. You will be provided with premium kayaks, paddles, and PFDs, as well as a shuttle service to the start of the paddle. Please bring your own lunch. Snacks will be available.
