Educational Field-Trip Based Learning
EXCITING OPTIONS!
Helfrich Outfitter
You'll be joining Helfrich Outfitter on a full-day rafting trip on the beautiful McKenzie River. We will be rafting from Hamlin to Helfrich boat landings, a 15.5-mile trip. This is the most popular stretch of the McKenzie. It starts with a roller-coaster-like rapid. Then, there's time to get used to sitting on the raft and to feel how it moves on the water and in the rapids, and to get used to team paddling. Our first test comes within a mile at Redside Rapid, a straight shot through some fantastic breaking waves and a hydraulic. A few miles and many rapids later, we get into another wet, wild ride, Riverside Rapid, a long series of big breaking waves, followed by two similar rapids. Then, it's lunch with a special guest who will make an educational presentation. Most of the biggest rapids follow. By then, we're paddling well as a team. We maneuver through several rapids, most notably Bear Creek Rapids, Brown's Hole and Marten's, dodging rocks and crashing waves like veterans. An area photographer frequently comes out to record our adventure at this point. Our Helfrich Landing take-out is then only minutes away. Join your colleagues for a fun, educational day on the river!
* Additional $55 dollar fee to participate. Wear clothing and footwear that can get wet. Pack your lunch, water, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. Bring along a change of dry clothes and shoes.
