  • All adventures in this program will be guided using the Tributary Spud (inflatable kayaks) providing a stable and exciting introduction to river running. Our expert guides are Level 4 Certified Whitewater Instructors, trained in Wilderness First Aid, CPR & AED, and Swiftwater Rescue (SWR), ensuring the highest level of safety and instruction throughout the week.

  • We maintain a 1:3 instructor-to-child ratio, ensuring personalized coaching and close supervision at all times.

  • Beyond paddling skills, this program emphasizes environmental awareness and stewardship. Participants will learn about the local ecosystem, wildlife, and the importance of protecting our waterways. We also incorporate Leave No Trace principles, teaching kids how to minimize their impact on nature and develop a lifelong respect for the environment.
