Thrive Outside Winter Activity Trailer

Enjoy Rochester’s winters in a completely new way! The Thrive Outside Winter Activity Trailer helps community members from all backgrounds and ages get outdoors, be active, socialize and enjoy winter. The trailer is filled with winter activities like sleds, snowshoes, fort-building kits, a firepit and more.

The trailer can serve up to 30 people at a time and be delivered directly to your home, school, organization or park. Reservations, delivery and pickup of the trailer are free.

Support for the Thrive Outside Winter Activity Trailer was provided by local organizations, individual donors and the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Greater Rochester class of 2022.
