Willamette Canoe Expedition
June 15-18

GOA has again partnered with Willamette Riverkeeper to bring you four exciting days of floating, exploration, photography and journaling our way down the historic Willamette. We'll spend three nights camping along the riverbank, observing the fascinating wildlife and ecosystem of the mighty Willamette.

Also on this expedition, we'll be learning some of the basics of river stewardship by taking water samples and reporting our findings to the Riverkeepers upon our return. Before we head down the river, we'll have a half-day of pre-trip training, which will include a swimming test and a tip test.
