ERA Outdoor Program Demo Tour

Initiated in 2001, Endless River Adventures has hosted an outdoor program tour every spring--specifically for college programs and paddling clubs.  “University Outdoor Programs face a number of challenges competing for student’s time and administration’s support,” reflects Juliet Kastorff, “this is our way of giving something back to the community by supporting these hard working programs.”

ERA’s Outdoor Program Tour has lead to lighting a spark of interest at schools that previously did not have active paddling programs and strengthening established programs through the training student leaders receive at these sessions.And supports paddling clubs with instruction advice and boat demo options at their winter pool sessions.

We also work with college outdoor programs to update their fleet of whitewater kayaks and paddling equipment and host groups on the Nantahala and Ocoee for kayak instruction and rafting trips.

“Through your programs, services, expertise and professionalism, you provide an experience that augments the services offered here at Pfeiffer in introducing students to the variety of joys surrounding boating,” notes Joseph Pate, former Director of the Center for Outdoor Leadership at Pfeiffer College.

Each spring ERA loads up vans with Wave Sport boats, paddling equipment and teams of instructors to visit schools and clubs for pool sessions and video presentations. 

Our Outdoor Program tours have extended well through the southeast, including:
Univ of Tennessee, Knoxville
