OARS’ 3 Rivers Adventures

OARS’ 3 Rivers Adventures are designed to offer unique, hands-on team experiences that connect people to our rivers while making a meaningful difference for the watershed. These outdoor, service-based adventures bring teams together through paddling, conservation work, and river stewardship, fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and a shared sense of purpose.

We’re currently building out this program and look forward to sharing more soon. OARS’ 3 Rivers Adventures will offer organizations a chance to engage with the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord rivers in ways that are active, impactful, and memorable.

ADVENTURE EXPERIENCES

A dynamic, hands-on experience that brings teams onto the water and along riverbanks to remove trash and debris, building camaraderie while creating visible improvements to river health.

An engaging conservation experience that gets teams paddling scenic river stretches while removing invasive water chestnut and helping protect river ecosystems.

A guided paddle led by OARS staff that offers teams the opportunity to experience the rivers up close while learning about local ecology, water quality, and stewardship.

Details on OARS’ 3 Rivers Adventures will be announced in the future. Stay connected with OARS to learn when these opportunities become available.
