TRR St. Louis reaches out to the greater metropolitan area—Missouri and Illinois.  See TRR’s full values & vision statement.  

MWA has a long-standing relationship with TRR, which offers a way for the MWA paddling community to share the gift of rivers with veterans and their families.  MWA’s collaboration with TRR is an opportunity to welcome veterans into our paddling family. TRR participants are welcome to MWA-sponsored events: See MWA Calendar, especiallythe sub-set of Training Opportunities, filtered out here.

TRR offers paddlesport experiences in pools, flat water, moving water, and whitewater.  TRR has adaptive equipment to assist participants with physical disAbilities. Paddling opportunities are local, regional, and national.  Veteran and non-veteran volunteers are always needed as planners, helpers, safety, instructors, cheerleaders / companions, shuttle, donors, etc.  For events, see below & Facebook group.
