Trips
From time to time, we conduct cost/work share trips to introduce others to our style of outdoor
adventure (Go Light!). To participate, you must be willing to be an active participant, have your
own outdoor gear, and have your own equipment. Some of our more popular trips include:
Rowing lessons (one on one and all-women)
Multi-day river trips (Rogue, East Fork Carson)
Hiking trips (including all-women trips)
Any trips we conduct are on a cost/work share basis (see below). Check our Calendar for scheduled
trips. Unlike some outfitted trips, our cost/work share trips tend NOT to focus on food; instead, we
prefer to allow the scenery and natural surroundings to be the focus, as well as the trip
participants. This does not mean that we don't eat well; check out Lacey's new cookbook to see
some of the great meals she can prepare and still Go Light Outdoors.

Planning a trip and need some help with menu planning and food preparation? Check out Lacey's
booklet "Camp Cooking WITHOUT Coolers." You can also have Lacey assist you by doing the menu
planning, food buying, and pre-trip packaging through her new Food Buying and Packaging Service.
What constitutes a cost/work share trip?
Ideally, cost/work-sharing on a non-commercial or private trip would be each participant doing
exactly his or her equal share of pre-trip, on-trip, and post-trip work. Since everyone isn't required
for every job that must be done, there is no way to equally divide all associated trip work.
Trade-offs must be made and inequities will always exist to some degree. If the group makes a
bonafide effort to share the work and trip participants agree that their division of labor is
satisfactory then acceptable work-sharing should be assumed.
Cost-sharing occurs when the trip participants make a bonafide effort to share the trips costs.
Sometimes mistakenly assumed to be only monetary costs and exactly equal shares of these costs.
Actually, the intent of the laws governing cost-sharing are bonafide sharing of costs. Since
participants are organising their trip with their own gear, agencies recognize that it is impossible
to exactly share everything and trade-offs will occur.
