J Rig Rafts - Safe, Exhilarating Ride
The grandfather of all river trips & major bucket list, the Grand Canyon is known as the biggest whitewater in North America & most beautiful scenery. We implement the calming techniques learned at camp on the rivers' churning rapids. With awe inspiring scenery, unplugged & smiles all day, it's wellness at it's best.

Waterfalls & Breathtaking Views
Not everyone gets to experience the Canyon from the bottom. It simply can't be described in pictures, as it truly is an experience of a lifetime. You'll have a hard time putting your camera down as you play & jump from waterfalls, sit back in awe of the carved history, enjoying nature at it's finest.

Havasu, Little Colorado & More
Experience the infamous Havasu Canyon from the bottom where it meets the river, swim the turquoise waters of the Little Colorado (LCR) and explore more side canyons than you'd ever expect were there. It's truly the greatest adult playground in the world.
