Below you will find the itinerary for your summer with Action Whitewater:

• No one does more
• No one engages more
• No one goes to more places
• No one has more adventure packed into each and every summer camp session
• NO ONE!

Compare programs and you’ll see the fun is here, the adventures are here and the value remains here!

You’ll notice some of the descriptions are vague, such as “excursion”, this is because our schedule is flexible. We have a variety of excursions we can take, we have those we prefer to take but sometimes a vendor must cancel or weather prevents us doing something, we always have a back up. You’ll find a key at the bottom of this chart.
