My first official event as Program Director for Oregon Active Family will be August 22nd. Come hike through the longest continuous lave tube in the western hemisphere, then enjoy a BBQ with new friends. As always, a portion of proceeds go to charity. Click here to register.

Join me and my new Oregon Active family on a series of hikes through Forest Park. All three hikes are FREE, though donations are welcome and will go towards adventures for at risk youth later this summer.  If you’re hungry (or thirsty) afterward, we’ll be headed to North 45 post-hike for some well earned food and drink.
