About Us

LEAP creates opportunities for healing and growth through immersive wilderness programs that support people affected by significant health issues, psychological distress, and socioeconomic adversity. Our whitewater kayaking experiences on the Deschutes and Salmon Rivers connect individuals to the therapeutic qualities of nature while providing opportunities for them to become more aware of their strengths. We organize each program around groups with shared life experiences, enabling them to foster close-knit communities and thrive in an environment of mutual understanding and openness.
