How River Rafting Family Trips Can Improve Your Children’s Health

kids playing on a rafting trip

After a full day of floating down the Klamath River kids are still hard at play as we settle in camp for the evening...

According to studies done by Duke University, spending more time outdoors can make it less likely that children will be nearsighted by their teen years.

So, how can you get your kids outdoors more?

...Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.

Make it part of your family fun.

River Dancers specializes in family fun. We understand that children need playful, unstructured time, so we create that kind of environment as part of our river trips. My own son started rafting at 8 months!

Richard Louv, author of “Last child in the Woods: Saving our children from Nature-Deficit Disorder says: “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.”

Let us help you get your kids outside having fun this summer. Check out our family rafting page.
