Common Adventure: Hop On! Collegiate Whitewater Fest 2023

Come ride with us to the 8th annual Collegiate Whitewater Fest! This is a kayaking festival held on the Skykomish River in Washington by the outdoor program at the University of Puget Sound. This grassroots event is deeply loved in the PNW and helps community members like you meet lots of folks and learn about racing, kayaking, boat types, and organizations that support the sport. You can volunteer, spectate, and have fun camping with us. We are not teaching kayaking on this trip, but will have a blast learning about whitewater kayaking and meeting the community! Leaving from the outdoor program rental barn we are providing dank van jams and a great bunch of folks to hang out with.

If you have more questions about this event, carpooling, or participating, please come to the pre-trip and we can discuss.

We will be camping, so bring your own gear or rent it from the Outdoor Program Rental Barn. Food will be provided on Saturday night and our crew of Eugenians plans to do a group cook Friday night.

Cost: Gas will be around $50 per person. Additional costs to consider: food, camping gear from the rental barn as needed.
