WHITEWATER RAFTING WIAVER & INFO
All participants need to complete the Whitewater Rafting Waiver (click here).​
​
Here's how to prepare for the experience:
What to Bring
Complimentary wetsuits, splash jackets, and helmets are provided for all trips.
Neoprene booties are available for a small rental fee.
You should plan on being wet! Swimsuits and nylon shorts generally work best; avoid cotton as it draws away warmth.
For layering, stick to synthetic fabrics that insulate when wet, like fleece and polypropylene. Wool also works well.
You must wear secure footwear such as river sandals with an ankle strap, our rental booties, or tennis shoes that can get wet (no flip-flops or crocs).
Sunglasses with a strap and sunscreen are important for sunny days on the river.
Dry clothing and a towel for after the trip round out the list.
Most of these key items can be purchased at the rafting shop.
