Summer Camp Madness

With the end of July approaching us, we have been getting a surge of summer camp visitors. Local camps from the area such as Shaffer High Sierra and Mountain Camp have been taking field trips to join us for a day on various runs of the South Fork of the American River. We have also recently been joined by Rein Teen Tours and American Trails West Tours, touring buses that take youth on month long road trips filled with adventurous and exciting stops across the West.



These groups allow our guides to bring out their whimsical and silly sides, as demonstrated above by or guide Lindsey as he sports his purple windsuit down the river reenacting popular 80's workouts.

Team Building on the River

Shaffer High Sierra Camp took a field trip away from their camp near South Lake Tahoe to spend a day whitewater rafting with us on the Lower Gorge of the South Fork of the American River. Thanks to the hot weather, the campers were plenty happy to spend a good amount of the trip out of their rafts.

The campers also got to practice some quality team work as they worked together to paddle their raft through tight situations.

Challenging the Boy Scouts

A group of Boy scouts from Antioch recently joined us at Mother Lode for 5 days of adventures! The boys started off with a unique day of some swift water rescue training provided by our guides Scottie and Kyle. They are still looking forward to a full day of team building and pushing their limits on our low and high ropes challenge course, followed by two exciting days on the river as they paddle the Chili Bar and Gorge runs on the South Fork of the American River!
