Base Camp

COVID-19 and BVO

We are currently in a PAUSE, as asked for by the governor. It does not look great for our industry, how we conduct business,
and the social distancing asked -

The governor updates regularly -and as it is, the dates to re-open the Phases gets pushed back deeper into the summer calendar.
Recreation is Phase 4 - the last tier

It does not look likely BVO can open THIS year- for rental recreation -  sadly!
We pride ourselves  in the quality of service, the amazing staff, the ambiance and expertise we offer.
We choose not to put ourselves, or staff, or our customers at any type of risk.

Our retail will remain open and available - life jackets, paddles, and boats - call for appt

These mandates are fluid and we can change at a moments notice- but that would mean we had testing and a vaccine in a short amount of time- January is the latest option I heard!

Be well - be safe

Why BVO?

BVO opened in 2003. With over 20 years prior experience working as wholesale canoe and kayak reps, helping establish the paddle sport industry, we decided to bring our expertise to a local level.

Tucked against the hills, adjacent to a State hiking trail, our off-grid business offers outdoor experiences to folks of all levels, and advice for regional adventures. We offer secure parking, change rooms, flush bathrooms, and spacious grounds to picnic on, if  desired. Connecting friends and family.... Come discover with us!
