Start your day with an early morning yoga session. Our guest yoga instructor, Maggie Umberger, will help wake up your muscles and get you ready for a full day of activities.

PROVIDED: Yoga Mat

Enjoy an introduction to kayaking through the heart of Bend’s historic Old Mill District. Mountain views and local wildlife will delight you, while also experiencing the urban energy that’s put Bend on the map.

TCKC’s expert guides will teach you strokes to make your kayak paddling more efficient while telling you about the many fascinating historical, geological and current facts relevant to the area. Guides will also discuss the basics of reading water, river safety and stewardship.

PLEASE NOTE: Both of Friday's SUP and kayak classes take place at the same venue and on the same section of river, so we recommend choosing either a SUP or a kayak class.

PROVIDED: All paddling equipment (life jacket, paddle, SUP or kayak) are provided. Water shoes or sandals recommended. Shuttle to and from off site paddle location included.

Our morning snowshoe* will be focused on the stunning landscape of the local mountains! This 3-mile snowshoe will take us up 1,600 feet to the summit of a 7,800-foot mountain. This volcano sits right next to Mt. Bachelor, a great spot for our guide to highlight the region's geology and hydrology of Central Oregon from what is perhaps the most impressive view of the central Oregon Cascade Volcanoes.

Required: Closed-toed shoes or hiking boots, water bottle and small backpack for water and snacks.

Provided: Snowshoes and transportation

*Please note this may be a hike if there is no snow - but bases on current conditions we anticipate snow.
