Our Adult Paddle Camping trip along the Willamette River Waterway Trail was a weekend of camaraderie and adventure. 14 intrepid adventurers traveled 23 river miles from Keizer Rapids Park to the San Salvador boat launch.
Wilderness Hiking courses are 1-day events. The first half of the course is inside, learning the basics about gear and getting yourself and your troop prepared. The second half of the day is spent on the trail, engaged in experiential learning.
A fun overnight at Cleawox! Day 1 was all about getting comfortable in our canoes, learning strokes and practicing techniques on the water. Day 2 took us to the Siltcoos Lake for a fun adventure on the water!
