Summer Teen Adventure Camps 

Whitewater Rafting Workshops and Teen Adventure Camps are all available in Missoula this spring and summer. We have taught rafting camps on rivers all over the world since 1994: Our whitewater summer camps in Missoula, MT are open to all kids age 11-17. These camps are designed by river guides with kids. They are fun and focus on teamwork and whitewater skills building. With the Blackfoot River and the Clark fork River , we have great options to offer kids fun and appropriate sections of river to float depending on weather and river conditions.  Each day we float a different section of river and learn paddling, rowing, and river rescue techniques. Instructors can emphasize rafting, kayaking, pack rafting, and even riverboarding and surfing depending on the kid’s abilities and interests. Each day we reinforce solid river risk management principles like using the right equipment, dressing properly, and also always containing a river trip with upstream and downstream safety.  We offer our classes cooperatively with Montana River Guides, The Whitewater Rescue Institute, and Aerie Backcountry Medicine.
