Ready for SUMMER SPLASH FUN?
What to expect: Huge party in the camp site with a big potluck-style buffet dinner (We provide the potluck but feel free to bring something to share if you wish...) some fun games may ensue.
This is a very special river rafting/hike weekend. We have a huge themed Raft party on Saturday Night... So dress according to theme for the party and for the rafting Saturday. This has always been a great event with everyone ending up with great memories, hanging out with new and old Urban Diversion friends.
 Our boat leaders are members and friends with as much (often more!) river rafting experience as a regular rafting company! Your boat leaders will make sure you have a great time. You pick what type of boat you want to be on. Some boat leaders are all about having some crazy fun, some are technical, some serious and some are just lazy loungers... the type of guide you have for your river rafting experience is up to you.
The river we raft down is a class III river. Not too hard, not too easy but tons of fun! You can expect a boat of 4-8 with up to 8 rafts running the river each day. Our host group has been doing this for 40+ years – we are sure to have a good time!
Not Interested in Rafting? You should still join us!
In addition to river rafting there are some beautiful hikes right nearby for those of us that don't want to get wet. Our preferred hike is a beautiful 5mile trek into American Canyon. It is just a few miles away from the campsite. For exact hike details check out the post registration.

GRAB your paddles, slap on your swim trunks and make sure your sunglasses are tied off... we are kicking off the SUMMER SPLASH SERIES with a weekend at one of the prettiest rivers in Nor Cal... with enough white water to make the adrenaline junkies happy and just enough basic rapids to make the newbies squeal with delight!
This scenic river run is just off the beaten path but it feels like you're in a different world. We will be rocking rafts this trip making it an awesome experience! The water will be COLD as it finds us on its journey to the ocean from the top of the Sierras.
Don't worry about packing your lunch.... LUNCH will be served!
 How much experience do I need to enjoy rafting? None, nada, zip. Can you swim? Can you hold a paddle? Can you laugh and enjoy the sunshine? If you can do all of that, then you can have a blast on this trip.
How does the rafting work? Its soooooo much fun. We will have a huge group and everyone will want to share, have a quick safety briefing and then its off to the water! The rafting is completely fully volunteer guided- so we can spend the afternoon lazily floating down the river or zip through to the cliffs and spend the afternoon on the cliffs and jumping into the river.... either one is a sure fire way to have fun!
 
 
American River is one of the clearest of California's rivers, you will love it.
Isn't California amazing?!
Located close to city, yet seems so far away... this is such a beautiful and peaceful place on the American River, you won't want to miss it!
Lots of fun guaranteed!
**PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME** |
