What to expect?

Even though we call this a "family" trip, it's not just for grandpa and the little guys! This is a fun and relatively gentle trip that is suitable for everybody out there, but if your idea of rafting is to hit big waves and feed your inner adrenaline junkie, this is not where that happens. If you're after action and more excitement, my crazy friend, then our whitewater action trip is probably what you're looking for!

Is this experience for me?
- Most people can participate
What do I need to bring?
- Thermal underwear/base layers
- Warm fleece top/wool sweater
- Fleece pants/extra long johns
- Thick wool socks/hiking socks (at least 1 pair)
- AVOID COTTON. As you are paddling down the river you are going to sweat. When cotton gets wet, it makes you cold.
- Fleece, wool, and synthetics are the best materials to wear because when they get wet, they keep your body warm. If you only have cotton, we can still make it work!
- Dry clothes for after the river
- Any necessary medications (asthma inhalers, etc.)
- Waterproof camera (optional)
