Paddling

All of our volunteers are special, but this year, we’ve had the special privilege of working with the mother/son volunteer duo Henry and Erica. Henry is a competitive climber and middle schooler, and Erica may just take the trophy for climbing mom of the year!

This year, we’ve piloted a new “Learn to Ride” program with WeeWheel. Thanks to generous donations from a private family foundation and a Capital Trail Outdoor Equity Fund grant, we built a fleet of bicycles suitable for riders of all levels. Combined with WeeWheel’s state-of-the-art facilities, we’ve been working to teach our participants a new skill while giving them the same sense of freedom many of us felt with our first bike ride. The impact has been incredible–many participants graduated from newbies to confident bike riders in just a few weeks.
