All this great sunny weather has the great outdoors calling, and we’ve got a fellowship adventure for you! Please join us at 10am on Saturday, June 13 at Rocky Point, Klamath Falls (just about 15 min past Lake of the Woods) for a kayak “cruise” to Harriman’s Springs Restaurant and back to Rocky Point by 2pm (roughly). This slow-paced paddle adventure will be about a 4-hour round trip (including fellowship lunch break) that will allow you to soak up nature and hopefully catch some sightings of birds and wildlife.
No boat, no problem. There will be an option to rent at Rocky Point Resort and some members may have extras to offer (see below)! Renters should plan on a 4-hour timeframe for rental, and you may want to rent your boat before arriving to make sure you have one. Bring sunscreen, binoculars, and most importantly, the appropriate boating and SUP board safety gear (rentals provide this)! If you have additional questions about this route specifically, please reach out to Tim Chesley, johntimchesley@yahoo.com who may be able to offer some suggestions. RSVP to Danette twomaas4u@aol.com 541-621-0918. Additionally, if you have extra kayaks or paddle boards to offer, please let us know!

An exciting and interactive experience promoting adventure, engineering, empathy, social emotional growth and confidence. Kids climb in and explore a realistic replica of the classic Bronco vehicle, complete with the steering wheel, dashboard, rear storage area, and spare tire. While pretending to drive the off-road vehicle, kids embark on an adventure rescue completing the experience.
Bring your family along to visit the Children’s Museum at this afterhours celebration of this new project sponsored by our Club. It will indeed be a great day to be a Rotarian and an even better day for the children or grandchildren of one!
