Saturdays are for TEAM RiverTribe at Skipping Fish Boat School (SFBS) this winter.<\/p>\n

The Louisville Community boathouse has briefly become a media center for the UCI Cyclo-Cross World Cup. It will reopen February 15, 2013. In the meantime, TEAM RiverTribe is meeting every Saturday at Skipping Fish Boat School. They\u2019re building boats, carving paddles, cutting up and cleaning up.
\nThe youth leaders of TEAM RiverTribe are pioneering new adventures for all community youth by participating in a pilot program aimed at providing opportunities for all local youth to be introduced to paddlesports at the newly-opened Louisville Community Boathouse.
\nMost of these youth paddle a traditional skin-on-frame Greenland kayak or \u201cqajaq\u201d that they constructed in previous years at a summer camp at Skipping Fish Boat School. This confident group of Greenland skin-on-frame enthusiasts or \u201cSkinboaodians,\u201d as they often call themselves, were an available, logical and practical solution to supply feedback on their wants and needs for a youth program.<\/p>\n

TEAM RiverTribe races, rolls, explores and camps out of their kayaks. They lead oneanother in physical conditioning exercises and participate in the adaptive rowing program run by Randy Mills and Paralympic coach Bob Hurley. This past October, they illuminated their boats for a spooky night paddle, appropriately called TEAM RiverTribe\u2019s Halloween Boat Glow.<\/p>\n

All this at the Louisville Community Boathouse!<\/p>\n
