Welcome to your home for the week: a beautiful remote river canyon in Southwest Oregon. With experts by your side, unplug from the outside world and spend three nights camping on one of the west coast’s most picturesque trails. In this hiker’s paradise, choose the trails perfect for your desired level of physical activity, or float along in a raft with new friends.

General Notes

Due to accommodation limitations, single rooms and roommate matching are not available for solo travelers on this program. This is a Micro Group program, with 12 or fewer participants. This program is part of our “Off the Map” series, exploring truly remote areas of the United States as a way to connect with local culture and landscapes, and disconnect with the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. Our goal is to bring you to places that have limited (or no) access to Wi-Fi, cell service and other technology so you can enjoy authentic learning experiences without modern distractions. Due to the nature of this program, listening devices are not available.
