Each year, we hit the water during Spring Break to engage college students in the Spring Break experience of a lifetime. In 2015, we’ll be returning to the Mississippi River in Memphis, TN, where students will traverse the river on foot and in boats while working closely with our crew and fellow students. Living Lands & Waters hosts several week long clean-ups (Monday through Thursday) where students can meet the infamous Chad Pregracke and his boisterous crew of river rats. This Spring Break experience is guaranteed to leave you with not only the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve given back to the community, but a lifetime’s worth of laughter and memories. If you think this might be the event for you, please contact Kate Runge, our Director of Marketing & Events Coordinator at kate@livinglandsandwaters.org .
