Family Programs

Outdoor sports make great family summer vacations Family Two- and Five-Day Climbing
The Two- and Five-Day Climbing courses are perfect for the family adventure vacation. Great sport climbing routes abound nearby our headquarters, and the mix of excitement, solitude, and teamwork is appealing to families who so often have different interests.

Family Two- Three- and Five-Day Kayaking
Our Two- Three- and Five-Day Kayaking programs promise to be the ultimate in active family vacations. Our facilities provide a comfortable and hassle-free experience while you and your family learn the thrilling sport of whitewater kayaking. Learning the fundamentals from a pro means you'll start out with good habits that allow you to become competent and safe paddlers faster, adding up to more fun more quickly.

Family Duckies (inflatable kayaks)
These half- and full-day trips depart daily all summer long. Duckies dish out fun, fun and more fun. If you don't have the time for an instructional kayak course, a Ducky is the perfect solution. Let the adventure and laughter begin as you propel yourself down the legendary Arkansas River!

Family Mountain Biking
Our location, amidst some of the best mountain biking in the world, allows us to cater to your family's needs. Our avid mountain bike guides divide our rides into three different skill levels (see trail rating chart). On our most popular ride, Aspen Ridge, the views of the Arkansas River Valley and the Collegiate Peaks thrill and amaze riders who cruise along the 4-wheel drive roads. We rate the Aspen Ridge trip as easy, that means friendly for the entire family. All mountain bike trips are van-supported, so feel free to bring the comforts of home.
