PERFECT RAFT
TRIPS FOR EVERY YOUTH AGE GROUP |
Only American Whitewater Expeditions can provide your youth group with all of the following:
- Mild to Wild river trips, on the
South, and
Middle forks of the American River.
- Minimum ages are 6 on the South
Fork, 14 on the Middle Fork, and 14 on the North Fork
Our Judo club group is very much looking forward to our next trip. We'll
probably do this again next year as well as with the Cub Scout and Swim
Team. Whitewater rafting trips are good 'doing something' together kind of outdoor fun
activities.
Thank you again, A. T.

low as $72.00 for a ½ day trip and vary according to trip length

prepares all quotes.

I wanted to share some feedback we got from several folks. One lady came solo, Joanne, who said
she had just gone online not knowing one raft company from another and your
site popped up and she liked what she saw, found everyone very responsive,
accommodating and she was really glad she went with American Whitewater Expeditions.
I was getting breakfast on Saturday morning and who walks up but Bruce, one of the dads from
our old Cub Scout Pack. He was there with both of his sons and a group of
scouts from his Troop and others (combined troop trip) from Southern California
where they had moved. It was great to see them and they also had a wonderful
time. The lady who organized the scout's trip said they've rafted with you
before and it was your Web Site's mention of the scout trips that caught her
eye and made her think your company was okay, nice and safe for the kids, plus
she was also very impressed by how quickly friendly people got back to her.
American Whitewater Expeditions is a class act in the opinion of everyone we
talked to. Just thought you'd like to know!
Talk to you soon... J.P.
Have your Boy Scout Troop earn their Whitewater Merit Badges with
American Whitewater Expeditions this summer!
