New Rider Experience

Friends of the Rivers: Sweet Breeze Video

GOAL: To help children/riders prepare for a safe, educational, and enjoyable experience on Sweet Breeze

A canal boat ride could be difficult for people with autism, limited mobility or other special circumstances. Challenges can range from sensory issues to anxiety about what will happen during the tour, including accommodations, and availability of assistance. This video learning resource can help reduce anxiety and communication barriers and offer support for those with sensory sensitivities.
