ORS Venture Trips 2010
Come join us on an adventure, picture yourself canoeing on a
glassy smooth lake in British Columbia, or paddling hard through roaring
Idaho whitewater rapids. Exploring the urban wilderness in your own
back yard or floating a desert canyon on Oregon's high plateau. Fishing,
camping and taking in the sights, the view from your boat is one that
few people will ever see.
"Venture Trips" are for anyone with a sense of adventure and
average physical ability. The trips rang from local Pacific Northwest
favorites, like the Willamette, the Rogue and John Day Rivers to the
rugged towering canyons of Idaho's lower Salmon River. The wilderness
Lakes of British Columbia's Bowron Lake chain or the deep blue waters
of Baja California's Sea of Cortez.
There is a trip for everyone, we paddle with touring kayaks,
canoes, inflatable kayaks, or rafts and camp out of our boats for five
to ten days and nights. On every Venture Trip we'll have time for a few
side hikes, there are plenty of wildlife-viewing opportunities, fishing,
photography or just relaxing.
Venture trips group organizers are experienced wilderness boaters
and skilled facilitators; their job is to lead the group through the
process of putting a wilderness trip together Venture trips are not
guided trips, you will have to pack and paddle or row your own boat.
All Venture Trips are shared expense and experience excursions. Although
everyone is welcome to come on a Venture Trip, most of the trips do require
previous paddling experience and all trips are physically and
mentally demanding. Some more so than others! The cost of each trip varies
because these are not guided trips the prices reflect only the actual
costs of doing each individual trip and is a fraction of what a guided
trip would cost. Every Venture Trip is planned as a group. We'll
have pre-trip meetings to arrange trip logistics, including; car
pooling, boating and camping gear, food options and shuttle arrangements.
We share camp duties through out the trip. We'll all be in this together!
