Thursday 8/27- Rafting the McKenzie with Helfrich Outfitters

Please make sure that your child has clothing and shoes to get wet in, as well as dry clothes to change into after rafting. Please be sure that you arrive at the Maxwell Hub between 8am and 8:30am on this day since we will be driving up the McKenzie River to our put-in area. If you are not checked in by 8:30am, we will be leaving without you. We will be returning by 5pm on this day, though it is dependent on the river flow.  You must sign the Helfrich Outfitters waiver in order to attend this field trip. On the waiver, make sure to check the box on the bottom marked “I WANT a helmet”, as all youth are required to have one through River Road Park and Recreation.  We will be rafting from the Forest Glen Boat Landing to the Helfrich Landing.

Please dress in clothes to get wet, including footwear (sandals with a back strap, water shoes, old sneakers without socks). Please do not send your child in jeans or sweatshirts for the river. Quick dry fabrics are best.  Please make sure to send your child with a water bottle and lunch for rafting. We will have a chance to change clothes after we get off the river, so please be sure to send a towel and dry clothes for after!

I apologize for the confusion and please  let me know if you need anything from me!
