Wilderness Inquiry's Canoemobile made a stop in Salt Lake City this week to give students from fourth graders to seniors an up-close and personal learning experience on the Jordan River.
SALT LAKE CITY — Wilderness Inquiry's Canoemobile isn't your usual van down by the river — this one comes with a trailer carrying pounds of gear and strapped with canoes.
"There's a lot of, kind of, the train of thought that if you're in a wheelchair or you have any physical or cognitive disability, you can't recreate," Dack said. "This company was like, 'No, we just need to have different gear, we need to have different resources and we need to have a different attitude.'"
Kids from the Evergreen after school program get to ride in canoes on the Jordan River in Salt Lake City, as Minnesota-based nonprofit Wilderness Inquiry conducts one of their nationwide programs on Friday. The nationally recognized Canoemobile program connected more than 550 local elementary, middle and high school students to the Jordan River.
"If you come from a family you don't have a lot of financial flexibility, it's really hard to take time off of work, to rent or buy gear, to drive to faraway places — but so many big cities have beautiful waterways in their city," Dack said. "To be able to take people on waterways in their backyard, I think is very restorative to getting back to a more natural relationship with the land and with the water.
