Family Adventure Day

GUIDED CANYONEERING

Adapted Canyon Adventure Days designed specifically for families with children 12 years and under.

Join us for a fun, exciting adventure that involves stretching your capabilities and learning new things. Canyoneering provides opportunities for families to face challenges together, build trust, and gain greater confidence. Playing together is a magical way to build a stronger family bond.

Hike a narrow slot canyon, rappel, scramble, down climb, and possibly wade through canyon pools. No knowledge of ropes, knots and rappelling? No problem! 22 years of hosting thousands of families in the backcountry has given us the experience we need to adapt our Canyon Adventure Day for young children.

If your family has a child 12 or under, then this trip has been designed specifically for you. We know that venturing into a canyon with your children is an exciting proposition and we are experts at identifying the critical moments that occur when traveling with young children.

Providing this opportunity is a passion and specialty of ours. Every one of our guides adheres to an extensive training program designed by professional certified educators, and undergoes critical review and assessments every year following employment. This is how we can guarantee you the safest and highest quality experience.

And if you'd like to be free to enjoy your day without stopping to pull out your camera, professional photographers are available through Enlighten Photography to capture the moments of your day.

Let us help you create an unforgettable lifelong memory. Call and speak with an outfitter today.

"Wow, what an awesome experience... We all had a blast of a time. The rappelling was a true highlight with the kids even tying all the knots for descending by the end. Do yourself a favor and try this fantastic family fun day"

My wife and 3 kids (14, 13, 12) booked a half day and we all had a blast!! It's a fun and safe way to experience the canyon...You don't need to have any climbing or canyoneering experience at all to enjoy it- they tell you what you need to know and they help you every step of the way.

The ONLY bad thing I have to say is that we wished we had done a full day!!...our guide, Jen, made us feel so safe!! She was extremely knowledgeable and educated us on the basics so that we truly felt safe. I can't say enough about Jen - the girls loved her and we were so sad for the trip to be over!!
