Why We Paddle
Hearty Roots offers nature-based resilience programming that empowers kids to develop confidence, compassion, and a deep sense of belonging. Through guided adventures like hiking, paddling, and outdoor play, participants learn how to slow down, speak their truth, and connect meaningfully—with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.
Knickerbocker Group is proud to sponsor and participate in this event each year, aligning with our core values of community, stewardship, and well-being. Paddle for a Purpose is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of Maine’s wild beauty and the next generation.
