Abstract
Some of the inherent characteristics of moving water paddling experiences complicate their potential contribution to critical outdoor education. Although safe participation necessitates some emphasis on skill development, moving water paddling experiences can still be used to educate participants for environmentally sustainable living if they are designed, framed, and facilitated accordingly. This paper explains how moving water paddling can be redefined as a way of exploring specific riverine environments, knowing nature, and developing human-nature relationships. In so doing, some general signposts to effective critical outdoor education are suggested
