Mild to Wild made everything very easy from wet suits to paddle instruction. They stressed safety and made sure that everyone knew what to do. Our Raft was captained by Don who engaged everyone and made the trip fun and informative.

We took our youth church group, ages 11-18 along with 8 adult leaders, 33 of us total. 4 different rafts and 4 very happy groups! Our raft guide was Josh and he nailed it! Taught all 9 of us to work together, schooled us on rafting safety and made the trip so fun! Even shared some area history with us.. He was very professional and great with the youth. Go rafting and ask for Josh....you will NOT be disappointed! All our other guides, Richard, Robby & Chris (the birthday boy) and customer service peeps were amazing! Definitely going to use this outfit again!! Thanks again Mild to Wild for making this adventure a huge success!!
