I just got back from a women’s retreat and loved the experience! It was a hot August weekend but the camp has lots of shade. Restrooms and showers were clean! We rafted on day one and it was so much fun! The water was cool and refreshing. Don’t forget your drinking water and sun block! I recommend a comfort camping chair for the evenings or hanging out around camp. Your back will thank you. Day 2 we went canyoneering which was a combo of hiking on land and traversing through a river. Again, the water was so refreshing on a hot day! The leaders brought a nice lunch and we had plenty of water. It was such a fun and exhausting (but in the best way!) weekend. We had a group of ladies from 35-70 years old. There was fear and discomfort and excitement and pride as we stretched our minds and bodies and put our trust in God. I can’t wait til next year and to invite more friends.

This is such an amazing rafting company, but it's more than a rafting company.It's an adventure company offering water rafting , as well as hiking and other options. Everyone there was so incredibly positive upbeat and energetic.I absolutely do not understand how they can do all they do it is exhausting, just watching them.However the attitudes and atmosphere were phenomenal. I have never set up a tent and never rafted.It was challenging exhilarating and an experience.I would do again thank you to our guides Nu Nu and Hannah and Valerie. It was also amazing to me how good the food was given their kitchen being outdoor you will not go hungry and everything is super clean given. You are our in an outdoor invitement door environment..

We had an amazing week! The guides did an amazing job making our experience safe and meaningful. The activities and extra spiritual moments they added were fantastic.

This camp is so amazing. They are excited to be with the kids, they make everyone feel so loved, engaged and welcome. Relating nature to the kids relationship with God, teaching them to unplug and engage. Push themselves, take risks within safe boundaries. I think every student should have the opportunity to experience this.

On August 2, 2023, our family of eight experienced a fun filled day on the South Fork of the American River. Our river guide was Hannah. She made the day fantastic as she gave us excellent instructions and leadership before and on the river. At the end of the day we all are planning to do this again next summer. Rock-N-Water is our go to outfit for water adventures. We loved the spiritual emphasis that at the root of this organization. Hannah and the staff worked with us over the phone and online prior to the actual day on the river. The personal attention to details proved well worth the effort so our day at camp and the river was flawless. Special thanks to Tiffany and Amy for their assistance on line and on the phone. Hannah's knowledge of the river made this day a total success. Thank you Hannah! (John 6:63) Phil & Linda
