Description


Become a volunteer paddling guide!

Love being on the water and sharing in outdoor adventures? Join us as a volunteer paddling guide and help lead guided canoe/kayak tours in the West Fork of the Trinity River here on the Nature Center's grounds. Volunteers assist staff with loading equipment, helping participants launch safely, and providing on-the-water support during tours. Water safety is our top priority, and guides play a key role in ensuring a fun and secure experience for all.

Aquatic programs are typically held on weekend mornings, though programs occur throughout the year at various times, including our special monthly "Moonlight Paddle" tours at night. Volunteers must be able to swim, lift 50 pounds, and have some experience paddling a canoe or kayak. 

If you enjoy paddling, working with people, and promoting outdoor recreation, we'd love to have you on the team! Join us and help others explore nature from the water!
