We have access to 45 miles of various Class I-III whitewater. The friendly characteristic rapids of the Salmon, finish in a deep pool of water, allowing a safe place to pull it together before the next rapid. In the evenings, we will review performance by looking at videos from the day.
Surrounded by the Salmon Challis National Forest on 3 sides, our 23-acre hidden paradise sits directly on the banks of the Salmon River. All of our students will stay in canvas wall tents with cots or you may bring your own tent for camping. The recently remodeled Bath and Shower House is nearby. All meals will be prepared by a professional chef and we source as much local and organic food as possible. We do have a Trading Post where students can purchase needed items in case they lose or forget something. *Please be sure to let us know if you have any special dietary restrictions.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Itinerary” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:42|text_align:left|line_height:52px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”default” line_thickness=”7″ divider_color=”accent-color” animate=”yes” custom_height=”20″ custom_line_width=”250″ delay=”250″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1638845468634{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]
