BCO = Brews, CHARITY & Outdoor Enthusiasts
6:30 – 9:00PM
The Original OKRA Charity Saloon
924 Congress
Houston, TX 77002
Be a local hero with Bayou City Outdoors just by chilling with friends and having a cocktail. What? Yup, that’s all you have to do. No, we are not talking this time about riding to Austin for the MS150 or running the Houston Marathon (both great causes). We’re talking about doing nothing but hanging out and simultaneously giving back to deserving Houston Charities. OKRA makes it all happen. A partnership of local Houston restaurateurs joined forces to open their Charity Bar where every drink and appetizer sold benefits a different local charity each month. From the Houston Zoo to local Veterans, this bar gives back in a big way and ALL you have to do is show up and have a good time.
So join us benevolent BCO’ers at our monthly BCO = drinking Brews, giving to Charity & hanging out with our Outdoor Enthusiastic friends! We’ll catch-up with members and welcome our newbies to the crowd…and feel pretty good about ourselves doing it. Nothing wrong with that!
Parking - it's downtown Houston folks...on street after 6:00pm is free or you can check out this interactive parking site - works pretty good! http://www.marketscenter.net/ext/houstondowntown/

Bayou City Outdoors Whitewater Kayaking Instruction 101
September 28, 2013
Olympic Outdoor Center
602 North Interstate 35
San Marcos Texas 78666
8:30AM - 4:30PM
Come join BCO for a day (or weekend) of whitewater kayak instruction on the beautiful San Marcos river. Spring fed, the San Marcos is clear and 72 degrees year round. Our instructors are advanced kayakers and Olympian Ben Kvanli is our head instructor!
If possible, plan to arrive at the Olympic Outdoor Center Friday night for preliminary outfitting and rolling instruction. If you can't make it Friday night, please come early (7:45 am) Saturday to get outfitted. We will be on the water first thing in the morning to get a full day of river fun!!
The San Marcos has several water features. On Saturday we run the lower San Marcos this allows us to learn and practice; ferrying, eddying out, strokes, river reading, rolling and much, much more. You can do as much or as little as you want, the instructors are here to help you get exactly what you want out of the class. Most kayakers who have taken the class go on to become serious whitewater kayak addicts! It is so much fun. This class is for beginners or intermediate kayakers alike. We paddle in whitewater boats with skirts and all gear is included in the cost of the class. All you need to bring is water, sunscreen, swimsuit or board shorts and a top. Please bring $3.00 cash for the launch park fee.
We are getting an awesome BCO rate of $95.00 per person, per day (instead of the normal $130.00). Price includes kayak rental, paddle, helmet, life vest, and shuttle. Bring lots of water, snacks, cash/cc for lunch and sunscreen.
Don’t forget: Wear a swimsuit or board shorts and a top. You will probably want a t-shirt to protect you from the sun in the afternoon. If you do not have a dry bag, just bring your river stuff and someone will help you carry it. We will send a check-list to you the week of the event via email to be sure you have everything you need for a perfect weekend!
(Please check the event listing on the BCO calendar on 8/30 called White Water Weekend – READ FIRST) This information page will give you additional details on the weekend, lodging, dinners and such)
Pay the Olympic Outdoor Center directly. They take cash, checks and credit cards. Additional info & RSVP http://www.BayouCityOutdoors.com or call 713-524-3567 or e-mail to [email protected]
