Youth & Family Trips

Family and Special Group Trips

"...there is nothing absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats" --The Wind in the Willows

GROUP CHARTER
We encourage group charters with as few as 10 participants on most California rivers. Rubicon with customize our river trips to meet most any group need. Charters scheduled during the week will receive a discount.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS
We realize that there are large numbers of children and adults who differ so markedly in mental, physical, emotional and behavioral characteristics that they need special opportunities to enjoy wilderness recreation. Our guides have professional experience which enables us to offer these opportunities. Prices are negotiable; please inquire.

Rubicon Whitewater Adventures is an equal opportunity service provider.

YOUTH TRIPS
Rubicon has a trained staff of teachers and recreation leaders and we specialize in youth groups. Most of these trips take place on the Trinity River. Leaders can contact us for pricing and more information.

TEAM BUILDING
Rubicon Whitewater Adventures works with facilitators who use whitewater rafting as a medium for developing team building skills in the work environment. A river trip includes a series of innovative activities which can be designed to foster cooperation, understanding, trust and a mutual sense of purpose between participants. Team building activities on river trips challenge the group both mentally and physically. A paddle boat crew has to work together to accomplish the goal of successful navigation through rapids. A strong bond is created by developing communication skills. Team building using whitewater rafting as a medium teaches conflict resolution, leadership abilities and decision making skills while promoting self esteem and group trust.

Some companies and organizations using Rubicon for team building facilitation include: Alameda County, Price Waterhouse, Apple Computers, Sonoma County Probation Department, Girl Scouts and many more. Call us for more information.

FAMILY RAFTING
Rubicon offers family rafting trips lovingly designed for families with children. We use large, stable rafts and offer special family rates on the South Fork American and Trinity Rivers. While adult price stays the same, all youths 16 and under with their family go at half the adult price
