A couple weeks ago we held our annual Mother's Day Kayak Trip at Estacada Lake. The water was high and we enjoyed a relaxing paddle where we spotted a bald eagle and multiple ospreys throughout the day. It was a great kickoff to our kayaking season!

Brock (he/him) grew up in a watersports family, playing in the ocean and learning to slalom waterski as a kid. He has lived the seasonal guide life in Idaho, Hawaii, and Colorado and landed in Oregon in 2021, working as a ski patroller and in the whitewater industry. Brock is excited to bring his experience into adaptive and accessible recreation and we’re stoked to have Brock join our team!

You can expect to see Brock this summer on trips, around the warehouse and office, and everywhere in between. Welcome to the team!

Image descriptions:
1: Text "Introducing our Newest Program Coordinator." Two small photos sit above text. One photo is Brock wearing sunglasses, a hat, a hiking backpack, and smiling. The other is Brock on a raft wearing a P-F-D and sitting next to a dog.
2. Two images of Brock: An action shot of Brock kayaking in whitewater. Brock climbing a tree and smiling while taking a selfie with friends below. Text around the pictures: “Home state: Idaho. Favorite trail snack: Reese’s Pieces. Secret talent: cooking on cast iron over an open fire. Favorite outdoor activities: Snowboarding, Surfing, and anything whitewater.” A speech bubble reads “Let’s swap adventure stories!”
