Each summer, LEAP programs bring young people and communities navigating adversity onto the river for days of connection, challenge, and time in nature.

Those moments don’t end when the program does. They stay. The Variety Show is how our community helps make those experiences possible.

We’re finalizing our guest list by March 31. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is the time to reserve your spot.

Our annual Variety Show is almost here.

Join us for an evening of brave performances, shared laughter, dinner, and community as we celebrate the people who make LEAP possible.

April 10

This is not a formal gala.
It’s a night where people show up, take creative risks, and celebrate the spirit of the river.

Our 2025 Impact: What’s Possible When Access, Time, and Community Align 12/26/2025

In 2025, LEAP partnered with 10 nonprofits to deliver immersive, no-fee river programs across Oregon and Idaho; engaging 114 participants and partner staff over 49 full program days for a total of 584 unique participant days.

What makes LEAP different is time. Days, not hours. Shared challenge, not quick exposure. The result? Stronger resilience, deeper connection, and lasting impact.

Our latest newsletter shares highlights from our 2025 Impact Report and the story behind this work. We invite you to read it and, if you’re able, consider supporting no-fee access to these life-changing programs.

Read the newsletter to explore the impact and ways to support.

On the river, we see it again and again, people letting go of something heavy and finding room for something new.

The canyon walls carry stories older than any of us. Being out here reminds us we’re part of something bigger, steadier, calmer.
