One of the biggest barriers to expanding outdoor access is the availability and accessibility of outdoor gear. That's why River City Outdoors created our community Gear Lending Library! To learn more and check out our current inventory of free rental equipment, visit: https://lnkd.in/gqBRut-S

Take us back to summer time on the Current River! Between the looks on the teens' faces when it was time to get into the river , the teens giving Dr. Brittany Conners a heart attack after jumping off rocks, all the incredible wildlife we saw on the way, and so many laughs we had an incredible experience. Shoutout to our community partners The Nature Conservacy and River City Outdoors for helping us pull off another amazing camping trip at Mill Creek Preserve❣️😂💚🏕️🛶🏞️🙏🏾 #OutdoorEducation #TBT #YouthEmpowerment #MillCreek #CurrentRiver #CampingTrip #FloatTrip #TheSunflowerInstitute #Conservation #VanBurenMO #Missouri
