Base Camp

BVO 2021

SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER SCHEDULE

OPEN SATURDAY & SUNDAY  9-5 til October 11

Our river trips will be limited to 1 van, 8 ppl to a van.
We intend to run 2 trips a day. Meet at BVO at 9:00 or 11:00 with reservation

All trips will be booked in advance, with a credit card to hold the spot. Any no show reservations will be charged in full, as we have most likely turned others away. Changes or cancellations are requested as early as possible, prior to your reservation day.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate walk-in business.

We try to treat each trip on the Battenkill as more than an amusement park ride or drinking party. The Battenkill is a beautiful, natural resource.

BVO draws amazing clientele from all over the region and globe- we hope to be the ones to offer you an memorable experience.

Stay safe- Be well

Welcome to Base Camp...... where adventures begin.....end....and are rekindled. We have been offering custom trips, adventures, and memories since 2003. Welcome to BVO!

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.

  • Area hiking options
  • Vacation getaway lodging
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!
