For the third stage of the Trans-Amazon Expedition, The Wilderness Classroom has an empty seat in a canoe. We will be traveling from Manaus, Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean from early October until the end of November 2008.

We're looking for team members who work well in a group and have the skills necessary to conduct not only a wilderness expedition, but can contribute to the Wilderness Classroom's educational programming.

Team members will be expected to cover travel expenses, which will be approximately $2,000. You have your choice of raising the money for the Wilderness Classroom or pay out of pocket.

Please fill out the application. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Dave at 312-505-9973 or Eric at 218-370-1362 after May 18, 2008. You can also email us directly at info@wildernessclassroom.com

We are excited to announce two new sponsors who will be helping to keep our team well fed and happy during the Trans-Amazon Expedition. Pack Lite Foods donated a ton of delicious food for the Superior Waters Project in 2006, and we can't wait to eat more of their wonderful food while we are in the Amazon. Their foods are nutrious, tasty, and packaged with minimal packaging.

Plus. LaraBar is donating a bunch of their great bars, which come in a variety to flavors and will help us keep our energy up while we paddle. We are very excited to welcome them into our family of partners who help make our online expeditions possible.

The Wilderness Classroom has also received some exciting media exposure over the last two months. We were featured in Via INMARSAT Magazine, which is dedicated to the use of Satellite Communication Technology, Paddler Magazine, the official Magazine of the America Canoe Association. Plus, Learning Magazine highlighted our program as a great resource for educators!
