                                          G.R.E.A.T
  Great River Earth Adventure Trips was established to allow mentally and phisically disabled individuals to be able to experience the wonders and beauty of the outdoors.  We believe that being in the outdoors is an ideal way for our participants to experience independence, improve social skills, and increase self-esteem in a very exciting environment.  Our programs our designed to meet the needs of the various people with whom we work and are often further refined upon speaking with individuals and organizations so we can provide the precise kind of wilderness and outdoor experience that our participants seek.  Because the trips are fairly small we have a ratio of about one leader for every 3-4 participants.  All have a chance to know one another and form close friendships.
  Not only will you have fun on a  G.R.E.A.T. trip, individuals will learn and participate in a variety of things which can include: canoeing, tent camping, cooking, fishing, camp crafts, plant and animal identification, natural history, discovering wild edibles, safe ecological practices and much more.  No trip is the same.  There will always be something new to see or do on any of our trips.
We also will do customized private trips throughout the midwest including Minnesota, Wisconsin and ?.....

 

Everyone that joins us on one of our trips will receive a gift bag that will contain pictures from the trip.
