Rafting and camping on the Rogue River
Spend 4 days on this historic, wild and scenic river in Southwest Oregon. With wildlife, geology, and history abound, this watery playground is perfect for a fun family adventure. With professional raft guides and Wildwood teachers, this trip offers the perfect balance of river time, side hikes, educational opportunities, and relaxing camp time. Unlike most other rafting trips, this trip will offer a rich academic experience as your Wildwood guides teach about history, geology, biology, hydrology, astronomy, as well as utilizing the Wilderness First Aid and Survival Skills taught at Wildwood. Send your student with Wildwood or join us and bring the whole family!
