Typical Day

Breakfast will be served around 7:00 am in the dinning room at the 100 Acre Wood Resort. Around 8:30 a.m. a shuttle vehicle will arrive to take everyone to Corn Creek, which is about a 2 hr scenery-filled drive, over both asphalt and dirt roads. Once you have arrived at Corn Creek everyone will then participate in a thorough instructional and safety presentation, and head off down the Salmon River! On the river the first day we encounter several exciting rapids, such as Killum and Gunbarrel. These rapids feature smaller roller coaster waves that are fun and help get everyone used to the rapids, and ready for more whitewater action. We stop for lunch in the early afternoon, and reach camp late in the afternoon after more great rafting. This evening the tents and sleeping pads are distributed and the guides help you with the set up of your personal camping gear. They will also set up and explain the "bathroom" system. Happy hour snacks and beverages lead the way into a night of great food, campfires, camaraderie, star watching, and more.
