JBER Updates

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska JBER

Inflatable Kayaking Trips 

The Outdoor Adventure Program at JBER, has a new experience for the outdoor enthusiast to try…Inflatable kayaking trips! Inflatable kayaks are perfect for beginners because they make kayaking easier and safer by reducing the risk of tipping over. Trained guides take participants on the Portage River, a Class I and II, very shallow, low-difficulty rapid. Here you can enjoy the sights of glaciers, mountains and potentially wildlife. The inflatable kayaking trips are available to all service members and their dependents 14 years and older. All necessary gear is supplied by the OAP. Trips can be booked up to 30 days in advance.

For more information and for reservations, call the OAP at 907-552-2023. To read more about this exciting opportunity visit: http://www.jber.af.mil/News/NewsArticles/NewsDisplay/tabid/10180/Article/824515/new-inflatable-kayaking-trips-available-through-oap.aspx?source=GovD.
