If you’re coming to town for the InnerTrek training, or you want to camp out and do go rafting with your new cohort, this is a great way to kick off your new Journey!
We’ll camp out Friday, and Saturday nights
We’ll go rafting Saturday and Sunday on two different sections of the river. One of them goes right by the retreat center you’ll be at!
There’s only 8 sites in total, so book early!!!
119$ per night ($79 per additional guest in your site)
We’ll set camp at Milo McIver State Park, about 15 minutes away from Forest Retreat, where the InnerTrek training will take place.
Includes tent and sleeping pad, a social area with a fire and tarps in case it rains.
Includes dinner on the first night, and a light breakfast and coffee/tea in the morning.
The Lower Clackamas – $79
We can launch right from camp, and raft the more mellow, class II Lower Clackamas! We’ll do this section on Friday and Saturday. Includes wet gear (wet suits or splash gear)
Upper Clackamas – $99
Run the exciting Upper Clackamas at the highest time of year! With several Class III rapids, it’s set in the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest.
I graduated from InnerTrek in Dec. of 2024. I recognize an experience like this could have helped our group form stronger bonds, and I would love to open this up with you right out of the gate. I can share my experience of it all so far. I also own Evolve Wild, which will begin combining nature-based experiences with legal psilocybin journeys.
Prior to opening Evolve Wild, I studied and worked in the world of mental health and education for over a decade. I also became a river guide in college and later combined my skills, working in wilderness therapy. It was there that I realized how our contact with wild nature can affect everything. I later earned my M.A. in Cultural & Psychological Studies with a specialty in Ecopsychology. After my formal training, though, my real education began.
The river is the heart of the land, and getting on it changes the experience entirely.
Rafting can be such a great thing, beyond the thrill of it. There are very few sports in which the movement is determined by the environment. Rafting is one of them.
Between that, the physical activity, the beauty of the river, the excitement, and the social dynamics while on the river, rafting is a great way to shift consciousness, bond with each other, and get a sense of how it interacts with the land.
We offer the relaxing Lower Clackamas, which passes right by the Forest Retreat Center, where the InnerTrek training is taking place, or the exciting Upper Clackamas in the Scenic Mt. Hood National Forest.
Later in the summer, we offer flat water paddling on either a kayak or a paddleboard. You can find freedom to explore, drift off, or hop off the board for a swim when the weather is warm.
Some days we are able to offer SUP Yoga during this portion, which can further deepen the experience.
May is the beginning of the season and is for the more adventurous. This is when the river is a true class IV, as the river is at its highest and packed with monstrous holes.
There are no crowds, and you’re sure to find plenty of peaceful time on the supping portion of the experience quite easily. It will be colder though. We do provide river clothes, and the boards and boats are stable. But if the cold really bothers you, wait for the summer months.
June is still early in the season, though the water level typically drops rapidly through the month while the weather gets a bit warmer. Crowds are still small. June usually provides many of the best all-around days of the season.
July is the beginning of peak season. Things can get noisy, especially during the hotter days and the weekends. We recommend booking a weekday if you can. The river also gets lower as the summer months go on, making the rafting more about dodging rocks than hitting the big, exciting waves. All that said, during the hottest days there’s nowhere better to be than out on the cool clear water.
August may seem like the best month, as it is certainly the hottest and the best time to get on the river. But within the last decade wildfires and the haze from other major wildfires from California to Siberia, have gone from non-existent to nearly an annual occurrence. This has caused us to cancel trips in the past, and the trends suggest it will continue to get more frequent. It’s also typically the most crowded month. We’ll take you out if this is the only time you can make it, but there is a possibility that the trip may be cancelled, especially as the month goes on.
Labor day is the end of the commercial permit season on the Clackamas.
Not to fear, we have other incredible experiences
Go rafting on the exciting class III-V Upper Clackamas, float with us on the lower Clackamas, or paddle your own craft on the lake!
This is a great taste of the beauty that Oregon offers. If you have a day to play in the rivers and forests of Oregon, this is a great way to spend it.

This trip is to get you comfortable with being outdoors.. We pack a lot into a single day so you can get a feel for all of these activities and for the beautiful world we’re immersed in. There isn’t a lot of time for diving into the conscious experience like we do on our overnight experiences, though you will certainly feel some something, especially with the SUP yoga piece.
