During the day you will enjoy floating along and conquering the many rapids, mainly class II-III, (there is one class IV called Dragons Tooth that can be portaged by younger campers). Be amazed at the tributaries that enter through beautiful waterfalls and streams along the banks. At night there will be family dining along the riverside and campfire talks to dig deeper into who Jesus is calling you and your family to be.
Any collection of family ages 7 and older. Single parents, blended families, grandparents, cousins or even groups of friends are encouraged to attend. Each day will have a mix of active and relaxing times and all adventures are "choose your level of challenge."

In order to make sure the rafting experience is the best for you and your family and since we will be in a wilderness setting for 4 days we require the following items for Family River Camp. All your personal items will need to fit in a dry bag, so be sure to think minimally and pack with lightweight items. Our staff will make sure you have all necessary items before heading out on the river.

Please plan to arrive at Curly Jack Campground between 4–5pm on opening day.
This camp meets at our "down river" location in Happy Camp, CA at Curly Jack Campground where guests will spend the first night. We'll pack up in the morning and head down river camping on sand bars each of the remaining nights. Guests can choose to stay out "under the stars" or in tents (camping pads are provided, many of the sandbars do not have good trees and so will make finding hammock sites difficult)
We will provide a portable outdoor toilet with a privacy tent for restroom use while on the river.
Cliff jumping, white water rafting, an adventure hike to Ukonom falls, swim, camp under the stars, eat great meals prepared by your guides.
