Summer Fun

Willie

What did you do this summer?

I traveled to Canada with my wife, dog, and great friend. We spent a few weeks in Squamish rock climbing, swimming in glacial lakes and eating great food. We then took ferry to Vancouver Island where we spent a week exploring lakes, beaches and breweries. 

What are you looking forward to this year?

Over the summer the Outdoor Program purchased some new climbing holds to complement our current fleet. I am looking forward to setting routs with some of the new and unique holds. 

Reese

What did you do this summer?

I did tons of super fun stuff during my break! I went on a few backpacking trips, one with my mom, and one with Bongo (he's a great adventure buddy). I also went on a road trip to Washington with my friend and their dog! 

What are you looking forward to this year?

This year I'm really looking forward to all the climbing wall events that we've been planning! 

Rocky

What did you do this summer?

I started the summer by teaching a kids rock climbing camp. Then I went to Disney World for the first time with my mom for my birthday! I, also, climbed a multi-pitch at smith rock and it was beautiful! 

What are you looking forward to this year?

I made a new friend group from the Raider Wilderness Experience and I'm stoked to see where this year goes! 

Sienna

What did you do this summer?

This summer I went on some epic adventures! I went backpacking in Northern California and summited Mt. Eddy! Recently Madi and I took a trip to Smith Rock to climb which was awesome! I also had a few river trips on the Rogue and I even went rafting in New Mexico on the Rio Grande! Overall a great summer :) 

What are you looking forward to this year?

This year I will be a senior and I’m excited spend one last year with all my friends, taking cool classes, and working at the OP! 

Stay tuned for upcoming trips and events!
