Higher Ground is pleased to offer a full-day White Water Rafting trip on Lower Deschutes River in Maupin, Oregon.

This event is intended to build camaraderie and resilience through a shared outdoor experience that encourages confidence, connection, and a break from daily stressors. Participants will depart Sun Country Tours in Bend and arrive at Long Bend put-in in Maupin where they will receive a trip briefing and paddle instruction. Afterwards, rafting begins! Participants will have a riverside lunch near Maupin City Park, with an optional swim. After some more rafting, participants will arrive at Sandy Beach for take-out, change and gear load-up, and finally return to Bend.

Dress appropriately for the weather; and bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and plenty of water.
