We did both the full day and half-day trips with a group of middle school and high school Girl Scouts. The staff (especially Erin!) did a great job with our girls and was incredibly patient, answering all their questions and teaching them the proper way to paddle (very few of them had rafted at all before). Erin shared with us a lot of information about the river and the area, and was a great guide. We felt incredibly safe. The only bummer was that we ended up doing the same stretch of the river both days for the full and the half. However, the experience was different enough that it didn't really matter. Our staff the first day was phenomenal, so I want to give them a big shout out for making it such a great experience for our girls!
