Tributaries Scholarship Fund

Send a Student to Hudson Bay

Life-Changing Educational Experiences

Without Financial Barriers

All donations go toward the Tributaries Fund, our scholarship program which supports students with financial need in joining our high school credit canoe trips. The 2027 trips are month-long journeys down the famous Missinaibi River to Hudson Bay, where students will earn three high school credits. For more information about the trip which this scholarship supports, paddle over to our trip webpage.

Established in 2026, the Tributaries Fund is Headwaters' scholarship program to support promising young people with life-changing educational experiences free of financial barriers.

Join us as we celebrate the joys of canoe tripping, the impact of education, and the life-long benefits of powerful experiences in the natural world.

Please note that Headwaters Wilderness Program is not a registered charity and therefore cannot issue tax receipts for donations. As an organization oriented around education, environmental care, and social good, it is our goal to give back to our wider community. With that in mind, Headwaters has been been providing enrollment subsidies to families in need since our inception and is committed to covering the full enrollment cost of one student with financial need for summer 2027. Our goal is that through the Tributaries Scholarship program and fundraiser, we are able to cover the cost of one additional student, bringing the total to two for this summer.

It has been said that "what gives each person his or her personal identity is that person's private store of recollections. If so, then people should be careful curators of the assortment of memories that they collect over the years."

~ John Locke, Kathleen Dean Moore

Memories make us who we are – the experiences and ideas that are powerful enough to remember are the ones which come to form the character of our lives.
