N8TV Adventures is enjoy
ing a steady flow o f business
during their first summer sea
son.
The Warm Springs business
offers guided kayaking trips on
Lake Simtustus as well as river
b oarding adventures on the
Deschutes River.
Business has been building
steadily, according to Brenda
Williams.
“It’s been a really busy week,”
she said. “It’s really nice. Our
webpage really helped out.” ^
In fact, last week they even
had to find extra kayaks to take
out a group o f Japanese ex
change students on a trip on
Lake Simtustus.
While they have enough kay
aks to accommodate about 10

people, the group from Josai
Students
and
chaperones
from
Japan
learned
to
kayak
this
week
as
part
of
an
exchange
trip.

N8TV Adventures took the group on a tour of Lake Simtustus.
15 exchange students as well as
a number of adult chaperones.
■ The students had traveled to;-
Sweet Home, where they con
duct an annual exchange as part
of a sister school program.
So far their business has in
volved more than just education
about water recreation—many
people they take on the water
are also curious about life' on a
reservation, Williams said.
N8TV Adventures employs
several guides on an on-call ba
sis. For more information, call
