We are fortunate to live in an amazing outdoor community that affords us an intimate connection with precious public land and wild places.
We give back a minimum of 5% of our annual profits to the below groups through servitude, in-kind and cash donations. We believe in the power of community and good karma, and we are passionate about doing what we can to make this planet a little better place to live. When you work with us you are inadvertently helping us in our efforts to support things that we passionately believe in.
—Thank you—
In our backyard of Central Oregon, we love to support the work that Central Oregon Landwatch does, we have proudly been involved in heading up a campaign for the Deschutes River in collaboration with them.
4-H Camp Outdoor TEaching Volunteer
Each June we head off to the Blue Mountains for one week to take up residence in a rustic cabin along the edges of the Tucannon River, at the very same summer camp that I attended as a kid. We donate our time to teach outdoor education and inspire local youth. Through the years we have taught fly fishing, river entomology, survival shelter building, Leave No Trace, outdoor arts and crafts, canoe games, and hiking. We work with groups of up to 30 kids at a time building relationships with them over the week, and over the years as we return. We have helped kids to catch their first fish, cast the their first fly rod, build shelters from forest downfall, and fires using flint to name a few! A favorite quote from a group of boys working to get a fire started from flint, “Teamwork makes dreamwork!”
DESCHUTES RIVER ALLIANCE
Kim served on the board of the Deschutes River Alliance, a group focused on the health of the Lower Deschutes River. This organization is doing heavy lifting in uncovering the underlying problems that have caused major changes to the water quality and life that lives with-in this vibrant stretch of river.
