What might happen if we teach kids about the positive impacts people & wild places can have on each other?
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF WE DOn’T?
Fear not - we will. GOALS (”Get Outside and Learn Something”) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit on a mission to improve the future for kids and wild places using growth-focused river expeditions that demonstrate the positive impacts each can have on the other. Much more than just a company that takes kids rafting, GOALS is a devoted community of educators, river runners, and environmental crusaders using their knowledge of adolescent brain development and the unique opportunities that natural settings afford to connect kids to the things we know are developmentally crucial - their authentic identities, the people surrounding them, and the wilderness that remains.
By providing guided opportunities for kids to explore places physically and mentally that aren’t readily available, GOALS expeditions are opening new pathways to a future that is more authentic, passion-driven, and self-directed.

THE GOALS VISION - MORE THAN JUST A RIVER TRIP.
GOALS designs and delivers transformative river expeditions that address the needs of today’s kids. The lessons and activities embedded in our curriculum guide them to new discoveries about the wonders around and within them - pushing beyond previously established limits in settings that inspire individual growth and create group camaraderie. The GOALS experience motivates kids to create new norms for themselves, improve their relationships with others, and give back to the wild places that have given so much to them.
The best part? We’ll make it all this magic happen while having an extraordinary amount of fun in some of the world’s most inspiring locations.
