I can't say enough nice things about our experience rafting the Animas River with Mild to Wild. We weren't sure if our 9 year old would freak out just listening to the safety talk, but it was done in such a professional way (not at all scary!), and after about 20 seconds on the river, she was having a blast! Our guide, Kat, was AWESOME! She was great with all of the kids on our raft, made us laugh, and had the best stories to tell. We weren't ready to get off the river, so next time we'll do a longer trip for sure!

Can't wait for you to come back to experience a longer trip. Feel free to request Cat. Not only is she a great guide, but she is an amazing chef in camp! Thanks for choosing Mild to Wild.

My family had such an amazing time on our white water rafting experience with Emma! She was so great with my kids and provided us with adventure, excitement and great energy! We drove all the way from Texas and can’t wait to plan our next trip to do it again! Definitely recommend Mild to Wild!
