RUSH OF WATER. TEAMWORK.

Welcome to Adventure Rafting at Camp Chief Ouray! We are excited to offer this program to campers between 13 – 15 years of age. Campers will learn river travel techniques and wilderness living skills while running moderate Class I-III rapids and enjoying the scenic floats. All our trips are equipped with safety equipment (life jackets, helmets, etc.).
