DAY 1 (Monday): The meeting time is generally 11:00 a.m. at the campsite along Highway 128. This is where your group will be camping all 2 nights. After arriving at the
campsite there are restrooms to use and it is a good idea to have a tent handy
to set up to make changing clothes faster. Lunch is served while everyone is
changing and setting up a few items for camp. A bus will be to the camp to take
the group to the launch site about 15 minutes away. Today is a nice float with
beautiful scenery, swimming, and water fights. You will arrive at camp sometime
between 4 pm and 7pm depending on the water level. Dinner is served sometime between
5 pm and 8 pm. The guides will work with you to plan activities for the
evenings.
DAY 2 (Tuesday): The night before the guides
will let you know what time breakfast will be served. This can be as early as
6:15 am or as late as 8:30 am. It is up to each group to get their members up and
moving to breakfast on time. It gets light around 6 am so it is hard to sleep
in. Depending on the water level, you will be on the river sometime between 8:30
am and 10:00 am. Lunch will be served around noon at the river’s edge. This is
a good day to have a small snack on the boats. The group and the rafts will be
picked up taken back up to camp. You will arrive in camp at about 5:30 pm with
dinner being served sometime between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm.
DAY 3 (Wednesday): Today your group will be on the river by 8 am and will float for about 2 hours. The buses will pick you up at the takeout point to arrive back at camp by 11 am to eat lunch while everyone changes and packs up to leave camp by 12 pm.
On a wilderness adventure, happiness is bringing less -- not more. The items on this list should meet your needs throughout your trip. Please pack everything in a soft bag, such as a duffel or laundry bag, with your name on it. Place things that may spill in individual plastic baggies, and wrap breakables in soft items (or better yet, leave them at home). Keep in mind that the things in your camp bag will NOT be with you while you’re on the river. Choose clothing that will keep you comfortable through a full day under the sun and can get wet. Most guests meet at our office ready for rafting, but a changing area and restrooms are available if you prefer to travel in regular clothing and change there.
