"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."

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"
