Rafting is a dynamic way to do the Great Outdoors: get a great view of the scenery from the river, plus the thrills of whitewater. Pick the right Class of river and even young kids can enjoy the ride.

One way to sample river rafting is as part of a multi-sport Family Adventure.

Or try a company that specializes in rafting trips. O.A.R.S, for instance, also has a Canyonlands trip, with rafting, hiking, biking, canyoneering, and exploring Arches & Canyonlands National Parks. Minimum age is 12 years; other family trips suit ages 7 and up, or even 4 and up.

See lots more about white water river rafting trips for families, including background info, and affordable ways to sample rafting.
