"We were very impressed with the attitude of the
guides and the example they set of not just skill in their craft,
but a reverence for the river and the natural world."

"Our family just took a two-day trip with you on the Lower
Klamath and wow... we had a fantastic time. We loved the kayaks,
rafts, wildlife, food, stories and camping on the river. The
waterfall hike was outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing
this world with us in a gentle, kind way."

Your family
will delight in the activities we have planned for them:
- a hike to a sacred Indian waterfalls.
- evening storytelling around the
campfire.
- kayak lessons in one of our inflatable
kayaks.
- thrilling play in river eddys
and rapids swimming for youngsters ready for this kind of
adventure.
We know the value of unstructured time in
nature, so we encourage:
- water play and swimming in the quiet water
between rapids.
- shore exploration in the beautiful
places we stop for lunch and overnight camping.
- quiet wildlife discovery times
as we float past the animals who make the Klamath their home.
We value the importance of family time,
so we:
- suggest that all electronic equipment
be left at home.
- encourage each family member to
bring a story to tell around the campfire.
- plan for plenty of time for parents
and kids to experience working together to learn new river
and hiking skills.
- prepare and serve all your meals
to give you time to play together, exploring and discovering
the secrets at water's edge and along the fringes of the open
spaces where we camp.
The trips take place on a beautiful section
of the Klamath River in far northern California. Great
rapids, deep pools perfect for swimming and playing, a relaxing
pace, easy camping along the river's edge, evening stories around
the campfire... the perfect escape in all ways.
We promise you a family vacation like
none other. You will return from the Ultimate Family Rafting
Trip rested, revived and more in tune with your children and
the natural environment that is so vital to our essential well-being.
"More nature
can soothe body and soul. Today's kids are increasingly
disconnected from the natural world. Instead of spending their
summer months hiking, swimming and telling stories around the campfire,
children these days are more likely to attend computer camps
or weight-loss camps."
-- author Richard Louv in "Last Child
in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder"
