What does being a member of Oregon's most popular whitewater rafting club offer?

  1. All OWA club members are elibible for a discount to purchases made at Next Adventure.  This applies to online purchases only.  You need to apply for your unique discount code which you use for your discounts.

  2. We have an email list server that only OWA members are subscribed to.  There is a fair amount of club information that is passed on through that - for example, ad hoc trips that are not published on the OWA website.  A member might decide that they want to invite people along on their trip and you will learn about it there.

  3. We publish a newsletter 10 times a year (monthly during the school year and bi-monthly during the summer) that is sent to club members every month.

  4. We have monthly meetings from September through May where we have guest speakers that range in topics from invasive species to trip reports from exotic locations. We offer free pizza at the club meetings.

  5. We offer scholarships to club members for Swiftwater Rescue courses that are taught by some of the region's leading Swiftwater Rescue experts.  These scholarships are only available to OWA club members.

  6. All OWA club members are invited to our annual picnic where a gear swap takes place.  This is a great opportunity to get rid of gear you don't use anymore and get good quality used river and camping gear at a discounted price.
  7. You get priority when reserving your place on the very popular Veterans Day and President's Day Rogue River trips.  These are some of the OWA's most popular trips of the year, and as a club member you get priority reservations when signing up.
  8. You will meet new people and have opportunities to float rivers you have not been down before with people who know the river.
  9. Is there a river you just can't seem to get a permit for?  Pool your resources with other OWA club members who want to float the same river and increase your chances by being in a larger group of people applying for permits.
  10. Camaraderie.  Safety.  Fun.  The more people you boat with, the more you have.
