O.A.R.S. (Outdoor Adventure River Specialists) was already a pretty darned ideal option for an active vacation…and now it’s even better. O.A.R.S. has been doing rafting, kayaking, hiking, and multi-sport adventures in National Parks, or archaeological sites, wine on the river trips, culinary trips, high and low adventure excursions, spectacular weddings and events, and more, since 1969. It is big adventure (or as big as you choose) out in the world’s most beautiful regions, across America as well as the Galapagos, Mexico, Fiji, Chile, Ecuador, and more.
Now, to add a level of eco-responsibility to your adventure vacation, for select trips, O.A.R.S. will buy your one-year membership in American Rivers (as well as donate 10% of your trip’s cost back to the charity). American Rivers is the leading conservation charity for stewardship of the country’s freshwater rivers and helping ensure we all have access to extraordinary outdoor experiences. American River is, in their own words: “Through our work in five key program areas – Rivers and Global Warming, River Restoration, River Protection, Clean Water and Water Supply – American Rivers is working to protect our remaining natural heritage, undo the damage of the past and create a healthy future for our rivers and future generations.”
THAT’s a vacation really worth taking (and giving…back)
