While River Rangers offers great variety and flexibility, the basic format consists of a 5-day program using wooden canoes that have been built during NMHA's organized community boat building events. Each program uses 10-12 canoes with two CPR-certified adult instructors and a maximum of 20 expedition members.
NMHA provides program materials including a lesson plan book for instructors and, for participants, maps of the Navesink River with marked places to visit, bird charts, seining nets, fishing poles, log books and more. NMHA developed a training course for instructors on land and on the water.
