"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."
-- Dan, Lori, Selena & Shannon Hennessey

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"
