Roots to Rapids: Science on the River
Roots to Rapids: Science on the River
In partnership with The Powerhouse, this interactive class combines practical river skills with hands-on river science and ecology to help kids understand how rivers work—and how to safely enjoy them.
Participants will learn essential river skills taught by 4CRS instructors, including reading currents, identifying hazards, using proper river safety techniques, and building comfort and confidence in moving water. Each day, campers will experience the river in a new type of river craft, helping them understand how different vessels interact with the flow of the river. Through engaging experiments and outdoor observation, students will investigate river dynamics, erosion, habitats, and the plants and animals that depend on healthy river systems.
This class blends movement, curiosity, and discovery, giving kids the chance to learn on the river, not just about it. Perfect for curious minds who love being outside, getting wet, and asking big questions about the natural world.
This class includes all gear, transportation, and instructors.
