Thank you for such a unique boatbuild!

We love when schools want to get creative with their boats, and the Urban Wilderness team is always excited to make those design dreams come true.

Introducing the Awaken at Aiken “Bean Boat”! It is a canoe for all the coffee lovers out there! The boat even features coffee grains mixed into the skin…

If your school or organization wants to get creative with us, contact [email protected] (OH) or [email protected] (MN).

Happy April from Urban Wilderness! 🌸🌻🪻

Our Cincinnati team kicked off the month boatbuilding with New School Montessori’s 6th graders and field tripping with their 5th graders. We also had a wonderful field trip with the Zoo Academy and a great build in the Columbus area with The Wellington School.

Currently, half our team is building at Aiken High School while the other half is building in St. Louis.

The Urban Wilderness April finale will be an outdoor adventure with Rockwern Academy!

Thank you so much to our community, and we are so excited for the rest of the month!

If you are interested in our remaining April / May scheduling, contact [email protected] (OH) or [email protected] (MN).

Introducing Urban Wilderness staff member, Silas Fulton!

Silas has been building boats with the team for three years and considers himself to be a “canoe enthusiast”! At builds, Silas provides never-ending humor, technical skill, and immense paddle knowledge. He is also a “goop” (polyurethane) expert!

Outside of Urban Wilderness, Silas is a deep-thinker who loves lifting weights and playing video games.

Happy Thursday! Here are more images from our build with the Zoo Academy! We had some unique spectators at this build; they were fairly busy eating, but we think they liked the boat!

Urban Wilderness can’t guarantee giraffes at every build, but we can guarantee a beautiful, functional canoe!
