We still have space available for our annual Rogue River trip with Northwest Rafting
Company. Come out and
celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act with American Whitewater staff
and similar likeminded river lovers. For the past few years, the staff of America Whitewater has
joined with a number of our members to participate in a four-day float trip on the Rogue River in
southern Oregon. This trip has been a great opportunity to connect with members in ways that
build a lasting understanding of the role of recreation in fostering a stewardship ethic. As one
of the original eight Wild and Scenic Rivers in the country, the Rogue is an outstanding
classroom for American Whitewater’s river stewardship program. Staff shares current
projects, their challenges and successes, as well as highlights of national policy work that
impacts Wild and Scenic rivers like the Rogue. The trip is made possible through the support
of Northwest Rafting
Company. They provide
professional guides, exceptional food, transportation to and from Galice (the put-in), and group
equipment.
In June 2018, American Whitewater members will again have an opportunity to join American
Whitewater staff and board members for this exclusive trip on Oregon’s Rogue
River. We invite you to come learn more about what we're up to while having a great time
enjoying one of our nation’s first Wild and Scenic Rivers. You will have the option of
bringing your own boat, renting a boat, or joining as a passenger on one of the rafts. The price
for the trip will be $1045 with a portion of the trip proceeds going to American Whitewater to
support our work.
The trip, which will take place June 14-17, 2018, will be fully outfitted by Northwest Rafting Company with professional guides and all
group equipment. Last year, we had a full trip so make your reservation soon to ensure a spot
for this summer. The trip is suitable for all skill levels. This was a trip where everyone was
welcome, the only experience you need on this trip is a love of rivers. The trip is suitable for
paddlers representing the full range of skill levels from experts who are out every weekend, to
folks who had not been in a boat for a while, and some who were just getting into an inflatable
kayak or raft for the first time. This trip will reinforce what we all know firsthand, it is our
common love of whitewater that makes us such passionate defenders of rivers. Oh yeah, the food is
excellent and the camping superb.
Make your reservation directly through Northwest Rafting Company website and
select the June 14th launch date with American Whitewater. We hope to see you on the Rogue River!
