Reports

ICO requires that trip leaders submit a trip report within a week after a given trip has ended. Trip reports are generally presented in the following month's river meeting, and are archived here for reference.

Trip reports are used to help us better understand the makeup of our participant groups, track volunteer time (ie "river days"), and to capture all information relevant to how the trip ran as a whole, such as river conditions,

safety, weather, etc.
