This Week At The Resort

The 2007 Season Begins with Rafting and Guide Training

The Rafting Season has begun! On Sunday Okanagan Mission brought a group of 44 students from the Okanagan and Quebec to brave the raging rapids of the Thompson. Also on Sunday, nine rafting enthusiasts arrived at the Resort to commence the 2007 Guide Training School. The trainees come from all over the world: Northern BC, Eastern Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. We wish them good luck in the next two weeks of training.
