June 25 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
Event Series (See All)

For Tweens and Teenagers (Ages 11-17) looking to have fun and learn the basics of guiding a raft and river rescue/safety techniques.

Camp will include an outdoor “classroom” component, but most of our time will be spent on the river with hands on learning about and practicing whitewater river skills, and having as much fun as possible!

This non-competitive 4-day class will meet the first day at Six Rivers Rafting main office, and camping for the families will be provided downriver at Hayden Flat Group Campground free of charge. Families are welcome to provide their own accommodations.

Training will include, but isn’t limited to:

  • Steering a raft with a paddle
  • Using your crew maneuver a raft
  • Reading the river
  • Lines for rapids
  • Eddies
  • Getting unstuck
  • Flipping a raft
  • Hand signals
  • Rescue rope bags

…and more!

Each day will include a new on-river game and on-land river guide game.

We’ll feed the kids lunch each day, but you’ll be responsible to providing dinners and breakfasts.

Instructors will come pick up the kids each morning at 10am and return them to camp between around 4pm.

Parents are welcome to book day rafting trips with 6 Rivers Rafting during the days, go hiking in the Trinity Alps, or just relax by the river.

All necessary rafting gear is provided at no charge.

There will be a minimum of 1 instructor per every 5 students.

Students are welcome to join for less than the full time at a rate of $135/day.
