Have a teen that might enjoy a learning adventure? Join the Museum of Work and Culture and Blackstone Valley Tourism Council for a summer adventure on the Blackstone River.

DAY TWO: Teens move to BVTC River Classroom at Central Falls Landing to learn how the growth of urban Rhode Island continues to effect the river. The end of the session will include basic kayak instruction in preparation for the next day
