No gear? No experience? No problem. You can still join the club 🛶🌊 OSU-Casacdes Paddle Club is open to Bend Beavs of all experience levels, with gear provided and plenty of opportunities to learn as you go.

And it’s just one way to get involved. Between student clubs and organizations, OSU-Cascades Adventures trips and a campus surrounded by the outdoors, there are plenty of ways to try something new and meet people along the way.
