Rapid Experiences
Green River Adventures offers exceptional summer adventures for teenagers, designed to boost self-esteem, improve leadership ability, and increase self-reliance through Whitewater Kayaking!

Green River Adventures will provide everything but a typical summer experience for your child. The foundation of our programs lies in our small group atmosphere with a maximum of 10 participants. All Rapid Experiences programs are Co-Ed, for entering 9-12 grades. Our Costa Rica adventures is also open to those who have just completed the 12th grade. Learning and living in a small group promotes healthy communication, teamwork, leadership, and tolerance. Our main goal is that these skills last as long as the adventure filled memories of whitewater kayaking!
Experts agree that small group settings allow for more “teachable moments”, paddling skills progress faster, and it is easy to relax and be yourself. From the minute our participants arrive we create a supportive, non-threatening, fun atmosphere among our groups. This allows everyone to learn at his or her own pace, appreciate others for their individual personalities, and make lifelong friendships.
No kayaking experience is necessary to enroll in Green River Adventures’ June WNC program. Just come with an open mind and a sense of Adventure!
