How can we improve upon what are already the very best multi-day family rafting trips in the country?

Many of people are looking for a special way to reconnect with family, so we kick it up a notch by offering a guide designated as the "Fun Director".

He or she will lead the children, and any adventurous adult, in games, nature hikes and other activities designed to be fun, while also teaching them about the river canyon around them.

Plenty of swimming, exploring, and rafting through the gentle rapids that punctuate the Upper New river make this trip perfect. Add this to our amazing overnight riverside camp out, and you'll wind up with memories that your family will hold dear for a lifetime. It's a trip that has families coming back year after year.
