Spring School:  In April we’ll host a guide school over two long weekends.  The first segment is April 17-20, and the second is the 25-27th.

Early Summer School:  In June, we’re offering a week-long immersion school from the 16th to the 22nd.

Curriculum:  Both schools are taught by veteran AO guides.  They will cover the basic skills necessary to start a career in whitewater rafting—reading water, equipment skills, safety proceedures, riparian environments, and navigation techniques.  You’ll also learn how to cook delicioso meals on the river bank with little more than a frying pan and a propane burner, spiffy rope skills, and meet interesting people–all while sleeping under the stars, learning to love damp wetsuits at the crack of dawn, and paddling your booty off all day.

Who should enroll:  Anyone interested in working professionally as a river guide in California.  Our school is designed for aspiring river professionals, but we welcome rafting enthusiasts who want to learn more about the sport or people looking for an unusual adventure vacation.

The Armstrong FamilyOur July 19th trip combines some of the best receation the Gold Country has to offer–whitewater rafting and wine tasting. A little lux, a little adventure……..sounds pretty sweet to me! Napa and Sonoma may be more famous, but the Sierra Foothills are becoming more and more well known as the awards and accolades continue to roll in. Our first wine trip this summer will partner up with Boeger Winery–which has been making rich Barberas and unusual varietals like Tempranillo and Charbono since 1972.

Details on the trip:

  • When: Saturday July 19
  • Where: We’ll meet at our River Center in Lotus, California, at 9:00am.
  • What: Raft first! Lunch and wine second! After rafting the Upper section of the South Fork of the American River we’ll have a fabulous lunch, taste a flight of Boeger’s wines, and learn a little something about the Sierra Foothills appelation and Boeger Winery’s history. Boeger’s staff will be on the trip so the wine will be poured by the folks who know it best.
  • Cost: This trip is $175, and includes a one day rafting trip, lunch, and wine tasting. All equipment, shuttles, taxes and fees are included.
