The first night covers OP philosophy, liability, trip planning, and procedures. Saturday we'll cover use of the equipment facility, our equipment, the vehicles, safety procedures, and we'll go out on the river to practice what we've learned. Attendance at both sessions is required to become a river trip initiator. The Outdoor Program has officially adopted the Wild and Scenic portion of the Rogue. We float and hike the banks picking up garbage, and tires between Rainie Falls and Mule Creek Canyon.
Local businesses support the effort with food, boats, and other donations.
Check with the OP for sign-up date and time. Space is limited. Pretrip meeting is mandatory. In June of 2000, Kevin Schrier and Robert Ruffner embarked on a two week sea kayaking adventure along the Kenai Fiords Coast, from Seward to Homer, Alaska. The journey challenged the friend's paddling skills with ocean swells, chaotic rebound waves, rip tides, and 8-10 foot roller waves.
