Friends of the St. Croix Headwaters works cooperatively with middle and high school students in northwestern Wisconsin through their schools and youth organizations. The COW trailer and bright red canoes are also used to publicize worthy causes such as the promotion of donations to our area food shelves by participating in local community parades and events.
The Canoes on Wheels (COW) program offers the use of a canoe trailer, eight canoes suited for river or lake use, and canoe gear such as paddles and life vests on a no-cost basis to local schools and youth groups. COW also provides no-cost workshops for teachers to help them understand how to safely manage canoe outings.
COW has recently been expanded to include Eco Adventure which can be briefly described as middle-school students on the river in canoes with planned educational lesson modules for two days with an overnight camping experience.
Nice pictures!
Great Program! Thank you for finding a way to get kids out to have intimate and real experiences with our natural world–and as important, have fun and play outside.
What a great way to get kids and teachers enjoying and learning about the rivers and streams in their back yards! Congratulations on a great looking web site.
Great Work!
I could not open up the upcoming event site on the right side of the web page. I did check out the event calendar.
What a great idea. I have posted this on our fb page:

It would be great to offer an adaptive paddling option.
