Youth on the Weber: Half-Day Rafting & Kayaking Club to Learn Whitewater Skills.
Weekly paddle trips put kids and teens on the Weber River for guided rafting and supervised kayak practice; rafting requires no prior experience while experienced teens can kayak after a skills check. Sessions pack 2–3 hours of on-water time across whitewater and flatwater reaches between Henefer and Morgan, making for concentrated summer afternoons of skill-building and play.

Outing Highlights
Weekly skill-building sessions
This club emphasizes progressive whitewater navigation: regular weekly outings give young paddlers repeated practice time to learn eddy turns, boat control, and river reading in a supervised group setting.
Summer fun with safety front and center
Trips are organized for youth enjoyment and safety—fun afternoons on the river, guided by adults and designed to build confidence for paddlers of different experience levels.
Rafting for beginners; kayaking for checked teens
Rafting is open to young paddlers with no prior experience, while teenagers with verified whitewater kayak skills can bring sit-on-top inflatables and work on more advanced maneuvers after a skills check.
What the day feels like
What the half-day feels like
A typical session is brisk: a morning or afternoon meetup in Henefer, a short shuttle to the put-in, then two to three hours of paddling that alternates rollicking whitewater with calmer flatwater stretches as groups practice boat control and essential river techniques under adult supervision.
