A quick look at the summer so far. Since June, we've shared the water with New Avenues for Youth , OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital , Friends of the Children - Portland , Edison High School, and more, across two states and two rivers. Different partners. Different stories. The same invitation to reconnect with self, others, and what's possible. Swipe through.

Through nature, challenge, and community, people reconnect with themselves, one another, and what’s possible.

This scene on the Lower Salmon holds so much of what LEAP is about: taking on a challenge, contributing to a community, and creating space to see what might come next.
