Is this safe for my child?
There are risks in every valuable life experience, including this one. Your child’s safety is our top priority. We strive to provide the safest possible environment in which your child can engage, learn, and enjoy. You will be required to sign a risk waiver form.
Is whitewater rafting scary?
The stretch of the Weber River that we will be floating is considered a Class II+ whitewater river. That means that there are some fun rapids that have good splash potential, but they’re not too scary. Chances are very slim that a boat will capsize, but it could happen. Sometimes guests do fall out of the rafts. There are stretches of calm water with opportunities to float and swim alongside the raft. This is “mild” whitewater rafting where we commonly carry families and children as young as 3 years old.
Do you cater to special needs and requests such as physical disabilities and food allergies?
Yes, just ask. We need to know the exact nature of your special requests, and we will work with you to come up with the best possible solution.
Does the guide row the boat?
No. These are paddle rafts. Each child holds a paddle and follows their guide’s paddle commands to maneuver the raft down the river. The guide sits in the back of the boat with one paddle in the water to steer, while instructing paddlers for momentum and navigation. It is very interactive.
