Depending on your preference, in the morning meet your guides at camp or enjoy complimentary pickup from your hotel. After "checking in" to camp and selecting your tent, it's time to head to the lake! At the lake, go over safety basics and familiarize yourself with the boats: entry, exit, movement, and paddling strokes.

Our lake also presents the perfect opportunity for a fly fishing lesson. Learn the basics of knot tying, casting, and how fish behave. Dine on a gourmet lunch and optional fish fry before heading to our camp for the evening.  Put your feet up and relax to gourmet service.  

After a hearty breakfast, head to our first stretch of river for the trip: a lower section of the Grande Ronde that flows through agricultural land and a magnificent canyon. This is the perfect chance to practice the skills we talked about yesterday on moving water. Depending on time, we'll either head back to camp or run another section of river today.

Today, we either head to an upper stretch of the Grande Ronde or a stretch of the Minam River to float quicker water with opportunities to test out your new skills. This is the culmination of everything we've learned so far- Pack in your packraft for the complete self-supported experience. Throughout the day, take stops for wildlife sightings, fishing, general shenanigans under the sun, and lunch. Opportunities for foraging and hiking also exist on this stretch. 

After water fun, it's back to camp for our last night and a blow out party complete with live music! 

On our last morning, help break camp after a chef-prepared breakfast and take the opportunity to purchase at a steep discount the packraft you've been using all weekend. Hugs goodbye and a safe drive home.
