Team River Runner invites wounded and disabled war veterans and their families to participate in adaptive paddling programs.

Team River Runner Fort Collins is one Chapter of a national veteran organization headquartered in Rockville, MD. Team River Runner believes that every wounded and disabled veteran deserves the opportunity to embrace new challenges, invoke leadership, and promote camaraderie. Team River Runner provides an outlet to fulfill these beliefs – inviting wounded and disabled war veterans and their families to participate in adaptive paddling programs. Founded in 2004 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, we now offer weekly paddling sessions in 45 locations across the nation. Team River Runner is more than an adaptive sports program. It’s a program that provides hope and healing to those who have risked so much, yet asked for so little. It’s an opportunity to enjoy nature and realize its social, physical, and emotional benefits, whether it’s tackling whitewater rapids or paddling on peaceful flat-water. It’s an environment that facilitates connection, allowing veterans to reunite with their families and forge relationships with those who have endured similar pain. Our veterans are on the river to recovery.

Since 2016, our Fort Collins chapter of Team River Runner, a national non-profit 501(c)(3), has brought people together through kayaking, outdoor adventure, and support for veterans.

We’re looking for passionate paddlers interested in helping LEAD our chapter, teach new skills, support pool and on-water training, and help organize equipment and outings. We’re especially interested in people with strong whitewater kayaking and instructional experience. Swiftwater rescue certification is a plus.

What makes our TRR Fort Collins chapter special? We’re a kayaking community that includes both veterans and non-veterans. You don’t need a military background to be a leader or volunteer. We welcome people who share our passion for the outdoors and our commitment to helping veterans and community members discover confidence, camaraderie, and adventure.

This is an opportunity to give back, develop leadership and teaching skills, gain experience with a national nonprofit, and become part of an incredible community.

Whether you’re an experienced instructor or an aspiring outdoor leader ready to take the next step, we’d love to hear from you!
