Whitewater Raft Racing

The Oregon Rafting Team (ORT) is a team of whitewater paddlers who compete on a variety of rivers throughout the West Coast in multiple 6 man paddle raft teams.

We race head to head with other teams and against the clock through rapids ranging from class III (mild) to class V (extreme).

We are currently seeking adventurous, aggressive, and motivated athletes to help our crews win the National Whitewater Championship in Idaho, May 30th-June 1st. For more information contact us.
