Canoeing for Kids is a non-profit organization serving as a free recreational outlet for disadvantaged children. Canoeing for Kids' primary function is to provide free kayak, paddleboard, and canoe trips for underprivileged children. Since 1993 over 30,000 kids have benefited from the experience of being "on the water" and "in the "woods".  Teamwork, self-reliance, a sense of accomplishment, as well as awareness and conservation of nature are achieved while the kids simply have fun.
