Adventurers on the Dryway Trip:
- Must be 14 years old or older.
- Must sign their own waiver, and if under 18 also have a legal guardian sign for them.
For all of our whitewater trips, guests must be able/willing to do the following:
- Must wear our helmet and our personal flotation device (PFD)*.
- Respond to and follow verbal or visual instruction.
- Independently roll face up in water while wearing a PFD
- Demonstrate dynamic sitting position with head above water (sitting upright), and float with feet up in water.
- Be able to navigate with minimal assistance on rocky, uneven ground and descend staircases with no railings.
*Our helmets fit a maximum head circumference of 62cm (24.4 inches). Our PFDs fit a maximum chest size of 56 inches.
Specifically for all of our advanced trips, guests need to be able to:
- Paddle for up to 2 minutes at a time.
- Remain calm, lay flat, and orient their body so their feet are aiming downstream if they find themselves unexpectedly in the water.
On the Dryway trip, longer unexpected swims in rocky class III/IV rapids are possible, and guests need to be prepared to self-rescue by swimming aggressively to shore or other rafts, and/or be prepared to receive a throw rope from shore.
Don't forget to read your confirmation letter (there is a lot of useful information in there!). Call our office if you have any additional questions. We're always happy to help!
