01 · The Pitch

Get your team
out of the office.

The best team days don't happen in a conference room. They happen on the water, at a scenic overlook, around a picnic table — where people actually talk to each other.

We plan the day. You bring the people.

— the offering

A turnkey
team day
in the Gorge.

1 call.

One planner handles transport, gear, route, guides, lunch, and the weather call. You get a single contact, a single invoice, and a day your people remember.

For groups of 8 to 60 — half-day to full-day, 45 minutes from downtown Portland.

Locals who
actually know
the river.

11 · FAQ
— the questions HR actually asks

Answered.

What if someone doesn't swim?
No swim required. PFDs on every guest, back-channels are calm, guides are in the water with you. We've had plenty of first-timers who'd never touched a paddle.
What if the weather turns?
We watch the forecast for a week. If it's unsafe, we reschedule at no cost or swap to a land-based plan B (e-bike, waterfall hike, brewery lunch). Your call.
Mixed fitness levels — OK?
The whole point. E-bikes flatten the hills. Kayaks and SUPs are forgiving in calm water. Guides match pace to the slowest-comfortable person, not the fastest.
Can procurement get a COI?
Yes, same day. $2M general liability, workers' comp, auto. We'll add your company as additional insured on request.
Dietary needs?
Fully accommodated — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, allergies. Send us the list two weeks out; our caterer labels every plate.
How far out should we book?
Peak season (May–Sept), four to six weeks. Off-season, two weeks is fine. Holds are free for ten days once we've sent a proposal.

Discovery call

30 min. Headcount, dates, team vibe, any must-haves. We listen more than we talk.

02

03

Confirm

50% deposit locks the date. We onboard with your EA on dietary, liability, addresses.

Trip day

We show up early. You show up on time. Everyone goes home tired and a little sunburned.
