Report from the Field

Wild Oregon B has successfully completed  a 3 day 60 mile run of the Deschutes River. Despite a heavy down pour on the first day of rafting, the young adventurers pushed onward conquering Class II and III rapids.  Day one was filled with quite a few plunges into the river. Duncan was the first to brave the cold waters. Next, the leaders had each raft group conduct some trust falls into the river. Great teamwork and sportsmanship was reported. The raft guides told our leaders about just how impressed they were with this group. In the words of Bodi, "They break camp on their own, on time and swiftly. They all have great attitudes and are impressively polite." This is the kind of feedback we love to hear!

On Day 2 the weather held out. Paul was the resident champ of Wheel of Fortune- a game of balance consisting of standing up on the raft with hands in the air, while the raft guide spins the raft in a series of 360 degree spirals. Austin was the perfect white Ninja, outfitted in matching white helmet, white sunglasses, and white bandana. Noah is king of the really long words, providing plenty of food for thought with his 30 letter words at Chow Circle. Matt has developed a strong affection for Bighorn Sheep and is determined to see one in the wild. Josh, Dylan and Daniel all did terrific jobs as Leaders of The Day. 

The leaders also raved about the food -- French toast, egg & sausage fajitas, chicken and steak with biscuits! The raft guides have been spoiling this expedition. As they move into the Rock Climbing portion the Group will be taking their meals into their own hands. 

We hope to get some photos from this trip today, so please stay tuned.
