SUP? Kayak? or Canoe?! What’s your Paddle preference?
August 20 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
$17.00How do *you* paddle?
Join us for a fun evening on the water! We’ll be paddling around, enjoying an evening together with good company, good beer PLUS a full moon as well!
Don’t have a boat (SUP, kayak or canoe)? No problem!
We’re organizing a list of people who have boats you can borrow, and we’ll arrange car pooling to assure that everyone who wants to participate can join us. When you sign up, please indicate if you have a boat: which kind, and/or if you have one you can loan out for the evening to a fellow member. Coordinating this event is tricky, so please provide as much info as you can to help us with logistics to keep this event cost-effective and trouble-free.
Date: Tuesday, August 20. (it’s months out— so SAVE the DATE on your calendars now!)
Time: Meet up at 5:30 pm in Bend (exact locale still TBD) We will update here and also contact you directly when we get closer to the event.
Paddle Location: Little Lava Lake– just past Hosmer on Cascade Lakes Hwy (see directions below)
At this time, campfires are prohibited… We are looking for a propane-based fire pit/stove that we can place inside the dedicated wood firepit to still enjoy a pseudo campfire experience. If you have a propane / Solo Stove, or other appropriate fire-safe pit rig that we can use or borrow.. please reach out to Erica or Lynn. Regardless of firepit, after the paddle, for those who want to stay for s’more beer, and even Camping over night, we have reserved the Group Campsite location near the boat ramp.
Let us know in your Sign-up reservation if you intend to camp! The group site allows for 12 campers. (Campers Note: you will need to provide your own camping gear!) We still have room for about 5 more campers!
What to Bring: Aside from your paddling rig, be sure to pack a couple of safety items. PFDs (personal flotation devices) and whistles are required. Feel free to bring any additional snacks or beer. It cools down after sunset so bring extra clothes/dry shoes to keep warm.
For those staying for the Apré Paddle, bring snacks and /or s’more makin’s plus a marshmallow roasting skewer if you have one.
Campers! Please provide your own camping gear to survive the night!
Cost: $17 will cover some beer and snacks for the evening— including the Group Site Gathering reservation.
As the date gets closer, be sure to check back here to confirm all the details such as the meetup location to transport the boats! You can reach out to the event organizers if you have questions or are able to help with extras, transportation, etc.
Contact Erica or Lynn.
