Available Upgrades

Camp on-site and turn drop-off into a 2-minute walk instead of a morning scramble.

We provide the site and the tents. You provide your sense of adventure. Check out more information about our one-of-a-kind campsite here.

Enjoy gourmet catered meals prepared with love in our commerical kitchen.

Start your days with freshly prepared breakfast, and end with gourmet dinners in our beautiful outdoor picnic area. Check our our menu!

During the day camp, RIVER KIDS focus on learning with their peer group, so parents and siblings don’t join the camp raft.

But you can still share the river experience. Book a River Runners family trip so your whole crew gets in on the fun.
