Evenings we enjoy delicious meals at the Eddy Café, with the option for a hike or game, or just relax and reflect on your learning. Our glamping tents and hot shower make our wild location a little less extreme. Each new day is filled with improved skills, new river running understanding, and more challenging waters.  Additionally, we discuss river etiquette, the permit system, and how to plan for overnight river trips.  The course ends with a night on the river, learning how to rig and set up oar frames, discussing safety and emergency procedures.  Guests learn not only how to row, but how to set up for living off a raft in remote locations.
