Oregon Family Camp


The Prices joined us for a two day Family Camp in the early days of September. Cousins gathered together for a peaceful journey and a wild ride! How is that possible? That's Life on the Rogue!!

Dena, Aaron, Roy and June all paddled in the inflatable kayaks. There was one tandem kayak and two singles. They all tried their hand at duo digging in the double kayak. The mix and match teams were very impressive as both individual paddlers and team paddlers.

After twelve miles of river time, everyone was ready to enjoy the easy time in camp. Dinner was cooked over the campfire and included fresh salmon, garlic bread, fresh from the garden vegetables, and a Dutch Oven Dessert of peach cobbler. After the stars were out, we stoked up the fire and Dena had her first taste of S'mores.

The second day of paddling started after a hearty breakfast of Rocky Riffle scramble eggs, bacon, sausage and Dutch Oven biscuits served with homemade blackberry jam and raspberry jam. The paddling crew was ready to hit the waves and enjoy the gorgeous Southern Oregon weather.

Our pro paddlers tested the whitewater floating position in Galice Rapid and Argo and came out victorious! They even managed to save their hats! Traveling the Rogue River with the Price Family enriched our summer. Thanks for a memorable trip!

  1. I love your blog. I read it often. When reading about your trips down the river, you make it sound as if your clients are old friends you haven't seen in years. Your writing makes it feels as if I right there with you, describing every little detail of the trip and the great pictures you take along the way. It must make your customers feel so glad they chose your rafting company from all the others. You guys go above and beyond what people expect and make everyone one feel so welcome. The picture of the bear was beautiful. Tom printed it out and is passing it off as his own. The bear looked so close, how close was he?
