The route threads a quiet creek and includes passage beneath the site’s signature rainbow bridge, the defining visual moment of the outing.
Paddles Are Provided
Each canoe comes equipped with paddles so you only need to bring appropriate clothing and footwear; the camp supplies the basic on-water equipment.
Certified Adult Required
A certified adult—holding American Red Cross Small Craft/Basic Water Rescue or equivalent American Canoe Association paddlesports/canoe/kayak certification—is required to use the canoes; the camp does not provide that certified adult.
