The Adventures:
From Skydiving to White Water Rafting, Paintballing to Back Country Skiing, Oregon Active is about getting out there and trying new things. Some of the adventures are filled with large doses of adrenaline, while others are simply just enjoying the great outdoors. You never know what adventure is coming next...Oregon Active coordinates the adventure from beginning to end. We provide the transportation, the meals, the comradery and the fun. All you have to do is show up..All we ask is that you bring an open mind and a good attitude; we will take care of the rest.
Because Oregon Active was founded on the premise of having fun while giving back, every trip we donate the proceeds to a local charity. Just as we don't limit our adventures to one type of activity, we don't limit our donations to one type of charity. From Doernbecker Children's Hospital to Portland Mountain Rescue, Susan G Komen to The Oregon Active Foundation, we always give back..It's what makes Oregon Active unique.
The Members:
So how do you become a member of Oregon Active? You show up...You can't buy in, you can't sign up, you have to participate in an adventure... Every member of Oregon Active has been on a trip and every member has given back.
At Oregon Active we feel it's important to listen to our members. If you have an adventure you would like to see on the calendar, or a charity you would like us donate to, let us know..Since we are a community of like-minded friends, we need you to help us grow.
The Giving Back:
Our main goal at Oregon Active is to be active in our lives, active with our friends, and active in the community. It's all about having fun while giving back. Every adventure we embark on, we donate to a local charity or helping cause. Consider it a self-serving donation to charity.We are pleased to announce the birth of the Oregon Active Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit dedicated to providing outdoor adventures for people affected by cancer. After teaming up with Cancer Care Resources and providing the "Young Survivors Group" with Oregon Active Adventures, we realized just how special those trips can be, while learning the true meaning of "Giving Back"
Oregon Active hopes to grow the foundation so we can continue these trips and provide them "free of charge" to the survivors. We can all see the true benefits and positive impacts these adventures have...how sometimes just a little laughter, a day of smiles, and a sense of adventure can go a long way to improving one's health and spirits...Ourselves included..
So how can you give back? How can you make a difference? It's simple. Come on a trip and help out our cause, or simply sponsor a trip for the "Young Survivors" We are working hard on getting the non-profit set up and the adventures coordinated. Please frequent our "Adventures" section and "Giving Back" section for more information on how you can help.
