Explore the River from Memorial Day to Labor Day!

As part of our Summer Education Program, the Explore the River Series teaches participants first-hand about the wildlife, history, culture, and geography of the Mississippi River and the Quad Cities. These exciting and informative in person sessions are given on the Channel Cat Water Taxi or during a guided tour at varying river locations nearby. Join us in learning about the unique nature, history, and culture of the Quad Cities May 26 through August 29.
