The Perfect Bonding and Fellowship Experience
A trip on the South Fork of the American River is the perfect bonding and fellowship experience for your church’s men's or women’s group, youth group, or leadership team. River Runners is experienced in creating the perfect trip for church groups both large and small.
At River Runners, your experience is our top priority. We offer one and two-day adventures for groups of all ages and sizes, from our Express Chili Bar and Gorge trips all the way to our 2-day camping and rafting packages, and our guides are hand-picked to understand, respect, and prioritize the needs of your group throughout your entire stay with us.
For most church groups, we recommend choosing a trip on the South Fork of the American River. This class II-III river offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Alongside the rapids, there is plenty of time to take in the scenic views, swim, and enjoy the calmer stretches of water. Our expert guides are excited to show you the best spots on the river for blackberry picking, bird-watching, swimming, and rock-jumping.
These trips provide a balanced experience, making them suitable for groups with varying levels of rafting experience. While some rafting trips focus on extreme whitewater thrills, these river options provide excitement without overwhelming less-experienced rafters.
Our favorite trip for a church camping trip is the two-day camping and rafting package. We take care of your food, tents, and adventure itinerary, leaving you to prioritize spending time in fellowship and relaxation.
However, if your church group is looking for an even bigger thrill, we offer one-day class IV trips on the Middle Fork American River, North Fork American River, and Kaweah River. These trips are suitable for ages 14 and up, and offer steep and exciting whitewater thrills alongside an unforgettable bonding experience in some of the most beautiful river canyons in the nation.
