Dive into adventure in a weeklong river trip for campers ready to take their rafting skills to the next level. They’ll spend three days on the water, paddling and navigating whitewater, and nights on dry land, camping under the stars. In addition to the river rafting, campers will also get a chance to tackle a peak ascent in the Gore Range!
Supported by two experienced Avid4 Adventure staffers and professional guides from a local whitewater rafting company, the team of up to 13 campers will learn how to rig, navigate, and paddle, 7 person whitewater rafts. They’ll also learn basic swift water rescue techniques and how to “read” the river. When they’re not rafting, campers will turn their attention to the art of camping, learning to cook, clean, and sleep comfortably in the great outdoors on the river as they move sites each night down the river. The final day after the river trip will be spent hopefully summiting a peak before heading back to the front range.
After a week soaking up new skills, forging friendships and deepening their appreciation of the natural world, expedition campers will come away with fresh reserves of confidence, energized for their next adventure.
Colorado Expedition campers will spend the week alongside the Upper Colorado River in wilderness campsites, enjoying some of the best rafting in the state and guided by Liquid Descent.
