- Develop self-confidence
- Learn about the history of the area
- Develop a whole new cool vocabulary, like chickie pail and PFDs.
Age
Generally, trips are designed for ages 4 and up. But, this depends on water levels and the class of rapids. Each of Wilderness Aware Rafting’s trips has a different minimum age that is related to how challenging the whitewater is, so check detailed trip info to see if your kid can come along.
Safety
Whitewater rafting has inherent risks, but the risk is greatly reduced if you work with a reputable rafting company, like Wilderness Aware Rafting. Every one of our guides undergoes more training than is required in Colorado to ensure that they know how to lead a safe trip, and what to do if anything goes wrong.
Choose the Right River
The Arkansas River is ideal for families! Beginning high in the Colorado Rockies near the Continental Divide, the Arkansas River delivers more than 100 miles of whitewater – making it the most popular rafting river in the West. The Arkansas River’s appeal lies in its wide variety of trips and easy accessibility.
