River Dancers teams up with CoCreative Coaching to provide 3 nights and 3 days of adventure on the Lower Klamath River for teenagers from 13-16.
Plan on a fully immersive experience.
The Klamath River is a timeless place steeped in culture and history. It is a center of biodiversity and complex geology.
Teenagers will learn about indigenous cultures, river ecology and geology, environmental issues relating to rivers, useful and edible plants, and outdoor survival. They will also swim rapids, learn to guide a whitewater raft and kayak, and help out with cooking and camp life.
It’s 3 days of education, empowerment, adventure, and fun.
We meet the night before the river trip at Curly Jack Campground in Happy Camp where we’ll have an introduction and orientation to the river and trip. A Karuk Tribal member will speak about the tribe, history, and culture of the Klamath River.
The next day we’ll pack our dry bags and launch out on the river.
On the river, guides will introduce guiding and river reading concepts and will quickly pass off guiding responsibilities to students. Kayaks and the 8 foot Mini-Me raft will also be available for use.
At night, we’ll fix amazing food, hang out, tell stories, and sleep under endless starry nights.
A Klamath River Trip is much more than being on the water. It is enjoying the journey along the way. Great food, swimming, fishing, music, stories, games, and hikes. By the end of your journey, you’ll want to keep going on down the river. Come join us and experience a trip you’ll never forget.
This section of the river is considered a Class III, with plenty of time in between each rapid to frolic in the river. As we make our way down the river we’ll be camping alongside the shore each night. There is plenty of wildlife to see! On our last day, we’ll hike up Ukonom Creek to our destination of Ukonom Falls, a hidden gem.
