What is Paddle for Nature? August 25 - 27, 2023 |
Paddle for Nature is an exciting, weekend-long opportunity for you to make time for nature! Grab whatever watercraft gets you outside (kayak, canoe or stand-up paddle board) and see how many hours of fun you can have on the water.
The goal of the event is to connect with nature and inspire others to do the same. Did you know that nature can have positive effects on mental health and can help alleviate anxiety, lower stress and reduce blood pressure? Studies also show that being in nature provides cognitive benefits, like helping you think clearer, focus better and be happier.
Participate individually, or gather a team of your friends, family and coworkers, and head to your favourite waterbody and soak in all of the benefits that nature provides. While you’re at it, run your very own fundraising campaign and make a real impact to help nature in Manitoba and Saskatchewan!
Paddle for Nature is fun all on its own, but some incentives never hurt! Check out the prizes up for grabs below.
