BBQ, banjo tunes, and a beautiful camp shared with dear friends — Does it get much better?

We just wrapped up an incredible preseason meeting, and it’s safe to say we’re feeling fired up for river season. From water level insights to communication strategies and deepening our understanding of the Native perspective, the day was packed with meaningful learning and connection.

We got hands-on with dory repair alongside guides and , dove into all things water and cultural perspective with Dr. Len Necefer (), and strengthened our teamwork and communication skills with our Guide Manager Kelly and Operations Manager Justin. We also had an inspiring presentation from Sara at the and spent time with our PT, Judy Stratton, focusing on staying strong and healthy both on and off the river.

And honestly… meetings feel different when you get to spend the day learning and laughing with your river family.

Season’s almost here — we’re ready.
