THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

 Help us change lives outdoors  

"The kiddos that attended Explorer Camp were I believe forever impacted by Three Rivers Parks. The majority of the kids have never been on a hike in a park in their life! Camp is such a privilege, and you have opened that privilege up to an isolated community that rarely gets to experience a scheduled, impactful summer event." -Cathy W. at MobileHope 

"Paddling an adaptive kayak was the catalyst that [brought] me into a new life of self-confidence I never before thought possible... my life has expanded to include surfing, sailing, hiking, rock climbing and cycling as well as becoming a certified Peer Visitor with The Amputee Coalition. Without the 3Rivers adaptive kayaking program leading the path, I would not be who I am today." -Erik H., USAF, Gulf War, Service Connected BKA

 Our current priorities are:

  • Explorer Camps - Ensuring that children in under-represented communities will be introduced to life-enriching outdoor activities including nature exploration, biking, fishing, and canoeing. 
  • Adapted Programs - Ensuring access and inclusion for persons with disabilities, including children, veterans and seniors, to participate in outdoor programs like kayaking, mountain biking, archery, skiing, photography and more.
  • Pathways Internships - Providing youth and young adults, particularly those facing barriers to employment, paid internships and transportation assistance to gain hands on experiences that allows them to explore a career in parks and recreation. 

 

THANK YOU! Together, we are changing lives outdoors!
