As employees of the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Quarter, we bring people together to create extraordinary moments and lasting memories through the power of sports and entertainment.
We are two teams that work as one. Rip City Management executes our events at the Rose Quarter, from games to concerts and everything in between. Trail Blazers Inc. connects with fans, from ticket holders to partners and clients. We unite for top company results. We are the team behind the team.
Since 1970, we have been pioneers in the sports and entertainment industry. We are committed to our mission of creating extraordinary moments for our guests. We are innovators who believe in creativity, sustainability, and inclusiveness to help craft the culture of the Northwest. Our organization has an opportunity and responsibility to positively impact our staff, players, fans, and community. As such, we are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within our organization and our community. We are all a part of Rip City.
We work one-on-one with teachers to create incredible educational tours that meet their specific needs and budget. All Explorica tours are fully inclusive and expertly designed to immerse participants in the local culture while introducing them to the people, places and experiences that make each destination unique.
Explorica is committed to enriching students through educational travel, and that means helping teachers extend the opportunity to as many students as possible. In addition to offering the guaranteed best prices in educational travel, we also provide scholarships, need-based financial assistance, and a variety of resources to ensure that every student is able to join their classmates on the trip of a lifetime.
Explorica is a part of WorldStrides, the global leader in educational travel and experiential learning. WorldStrides was founded in 1967 to provide middle school travel programs to Washington, D.C., and has grown to provide a wide range of programs for more than 550,000 students annually to over 100 countries around the world. WorldStrides offers experiential learning programs in educational travel, performing arts, language immersion, career exploration, service-learning, study abroad, and sports. Each of these experiences helps students to see beyond the classroom and to see the world – and themselves – in new ways. www.worldstrides.com
Treasure Trails specialise in providing fun, healthy and educational leisure activities for days out, team building, schools, events and attractions. The idea is simple. A couple, family, group of friends or corporate team focuses on solving a mystery described in a Treasure Trail. As they search for clues they discover their area and have lots of fun.
There are over 1,200 self-guided Trails in towns, villages and areas all across the UK.
It is our mission to get people out and about in the fresh air, exploring, discovering new things, solving clues and having fun on their very own adventure!
Treasure Trails have a partner network that works with clients to provide fun and alternative corporate team building days, as well as bespoke Trail writing and organised events such as hen dos and birthday parties.
Past clients have included The Prince's Trust, The BBC, Flybe, Trevarno Gardens and The National Trust.
