eagle90 125 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Twice we have used Rivers Whitewater Rafting Resort for a week's trip. They do have day trips and also had many family groups there as well as scout troops. They were extremely professional, very safety conscious, and overall, generally very nice people. Facilities and equipment were top notch. You can get them at 1-800-TRY RIVERS or at www.riversresort.com Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Based upon Semper-dude's recommendation, our troop used ACE Whitewater. They were awesome. It's an all-inclusive deal. They have tons of activities (mountain biking, climbing/repelling, etc.) and a lake full of inflatables and a zip line. The guys had a blast. And the dinner when you come off the river was incredible! You almost couldn't call it camping. They also have cabins and lodges for those not wanting to camp, just in case your family doesn't want to go too rugged. Link to post Share on other sites
johnmbowen 10 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 If you are in the North Rockies, try High Plains Outdoor. They teach Scouts to run whitewater rafts, and have a course in climbing and mountaineering. Link to post Share on other sites
