We Have Your Family Covered with Rafting and Adventure Getaways


Kennebec River Whitewater Rafting

(For elementary and middle school age kids, ages 8 and up)
There are lots of good reasons why the Kennebec is the most popular river in New England. It offers consistent Class II, III & IV white water rafting in the spectacular Maine wilderness all summer and fall.


 

Penobscot River Whitewater Rafting

(For middle and high school kids, ages 12 and up)
Looking for awesome whitewater action? The Penobscot River has it!  New this season, we've extended our traditional half price kids' pricing to the mighty Penobscot River, for kids ages 15-17 for the full river trip (Upper and Lower Penobscot).

 

Dead River White Water Rafting

(For high school kids, ages 15 and up)
With more continuous white water than any other river in the East, rafting on the Dead River puts you smack in the middle of “experiential intensity”!  Learn more.




Lower Kennebec Float Trip

(For elementary and middle school age kids, ages 8 and up)
This self-guided trip starts at take-out of the main Kennebec River rafting trip, below all the major rapids of the Upper and Lower sections.  Learn more.

Want to take your family in the outdoors and don’t know where to start? Choose from our Mom-approved and kid-tested all-inclusive Family Adventure Getaways! Our Family Adventure Getaways are affordable, fun, and hassle-free. Learn more.

We found the whole experience to be professionally run, safety oriented, educational, and "totally awesome". Your lodge is impressive and we appreciated the resort facilities when we returned from the river.....especially the hot tub and the brews!
