Whitewater river rafting has become one of the more popular (adventure) outdoor experiences. Camping out as part of a whitewater-rafting trip can be an unforgettable experience and a little planning will make your overnight trip truly special!
We’ve sourced several seasoned river guides and compiled the ultimate overnight river trip checklist to make sure you’re properly prepared.
Whitewater rafting is a fun and exciting way to spend an active healthy day in the great outdoors, connecting with the family in a way that’s sure to live on in your and your kid’s memories for years. In order to insure these memories are ones your kids will reflect upon fondly later in life and not the subject matter of sessions with a therapist, proper trip preparation is key.
First off, check with outfitters to make sure they offer a family-friendly adventure. Some trips can be fairly aggressive and therefore not appropriate for younger kids. Age restrictions vary on different rivers and trips.
Get everything you need to enjoy your outdoor adventures from bags and packs to air beds and sleeping bags, insect repellant, cooler bags, and 2-burner stoves.
