WHAT TO BRING RAFTING

2 Day Trips:

* No Camping Gear? No problem! Whitewater Adventures can rent you a 2 person tent, 2 pads, and 2 lawn chairs. Let one of our Whitewater guides be your concierge and deal with the hassle of setting up your tent and breaking it down. All you need to do is bring is your sleeping bag and pillow.

YOU ARE ONLY GONE FOR 1 NIGHT. You don’t need to pack your wardrobe.

Please leave all valuables at home. We are not responsible for any lost or stolen gear.
All your gear will be transported to the campsite by cargo buses.
