Another fabulous Paddlesports Camp in the books!

Happy 4th of July!! We are celebrating the long holiday weekend the best way, which is outside and on the water.

Yesterday, the girls switched it up from SUPs to kayaks and paddled from Springwood to Buchanan with Mosby (our other Wild Way mascot).

Everything is better with a corgi. Especially SUPing.

First day of July Paddlesports Camp at Carvin’s Cove. We were spared the storms and got to enjoy a beautiful sunny day on the water.

Another great day on the water! We partnered with Community Youth Program (CYP) to hold an Introduction to Stand-Up Paddleboarding for their girls.

Stay cool. Today, we visited Roanoke Mountain Adventures for some Greenway bike riding and Roanoke River tubing.

Last day of Paddlesports Camp for the West End Center at Fairy Stone State Park.

Yesterday, we had a River Safety & Rescue class at Wasena Park. The girls learned about how to prepare for a paddle trip, read the river, swim defensively upstream to safety, and how to assist their friends who need help.

The river was still high yesterday, so we found another way to have fun in the water. We visited Roaring Run, one of our favorite spots for a short hike and a summer swim.

The river was up today after heavy rains, so no paddling…but we could still float! (Literally.)

It’s PADDLE season, and we’re kicking it off with our West End Center Paddlesports Camp. We have some new faces this year, and we were excited to introduce the girls to stand-up paddleboarding on Carvin’s Cove today.

Science rocks, y’all. Yesterday we visited Green Hill Park for some SUPing on the Roanoke River + macroinvertebrate exploration.

The Wild Way is honored to be the Roanoke Co+op's CHANGE! recipient in the month of June. The CHANGE! program gives shoppers the opportunity to ‘round up’ their change to donate to nonprofit organizations doing great work in our community.

Yesterday, the rain held off long enough for us to get in a solid day of OUTDOOR CLIMBING at Hanging Rock. These girls held nothing back, and we had some serious climbing from veteran and beginner climbers.

Check out what we were up to in April and what we have to look forward to in the month of May

It’s a climbing week for The Wild Way! Today, Wild Wayfarer Caroline Welfare led an “Intro to Indoor Climbing” event.

The Wild Way partners with Girls on the Run, another confidence-building program for girls that culminates in a 5K Race every fall and spring. We were at the race today to show our support and cheer on a few of our Wild Way participants.

This year's GIVE Roanoke was a success! Thanks to donor support, we raised $2,569 dollars to help get more girls outside and feeling confident.

This past weekend, we relaxed our minds and bodies with some yoga, mindfulness, and art at Uttara Yoga Studio.
