Whitewater Rafting
This full day trip, led by a few experienced guides at the family-owned Adirondack Rafting Company, offers a thrilling yet safe experience on the whitewater of the Indian River and Hudson River Gorge.
If your child has participated in 6 or more trips this summer, (1 volunteer day equals 3 trips), then mark your calendars for this epic day on the water.
Recommended Age: Under 10 must be accompanied by a parent. Kids as young as 5 have gone, but they must be able to sit in a boat for a long period of time. Water level is generally low in August, but the rapids can be a quite intimidating class 3.
