Program Description: 

Montana was the birthplace of our outtasight clinics that have now grown into a series of 3-5 clinics eld annually! At these clinics we take blind and visually impaired veterans and pair them with non visually impaired veterans as guides. The training not only gets butts in boats but forms an incredible bond between guide and paddler!

*** Trips are open to active veteran participants in TRR chapters. If you’d like to paddle with TRR check out our chapter list here***
