The Klamath River in Northern California is ideal for church youth groups, Boy Scout troops, and any other non-profit organization looking for a couple days of swimming, relaxing, laughing, and having some great time to accomplish the organizations goals. On our two day Klamath River rafting trip the group will paddle through exciting class II and III white water during the day and camp riverside on one of the many beaches for the night. In camp everyone is free to relax, play games, have sessions, build lasting relationships with mentors, whatever your group wants to do while the guides make the meals and eventually everyone falls asleep under the stars.
Here at OTT we value all organizations working to improve the life of kids, especially ones taking them into the outdoors. Every year we are thrilled to help Boy Scout troops facilitate merit badge completions and the give mentors a unique opportunity to build impactful relationships with their mentees. To help your organization do what you do best we offer our 40+ years of experience, rafting equipment, and guides on the beautiful Klamath River for a significantly discounted rate from our standard rack card price. This gives you an assurance of safety and takes the logistics off of your plate. Our group booking agents are experienced at helping you make this the easiest and most remembered event of the year. The exact rate for each group is based on each group size, makeup and needs so call or e-mail us today to find out how to get your group on the river.

"Eric, I missed you on our return back to the shop following our three day Rogue River Kayaking trip. Wanted to let you know what an outstanding time my family had and thank you and your team for such a great adventure. This was our first time on the river, and the first time going down a river in our own boats. It was exciting, interesting, relaxing, all wrapped up in a single trip!
Thinking back, there were a number of things that made the trip great besides the scenery and the river:
Guides
Clearly, this makes or breaks the trip, and our guide team, led by Mike, were outstanding in their knowledge of the river, ability to work with client's range of abilities, and their general good spirits in making the trip fun while focussing on safety.
Equipment
The kayaks were great, but so was the large supply raft which my wife and daughter traded between. It was a good balance for them, while I liked the kayaks end to end.
Lodging/Meals
Although I hear the camping trip on the Snake River is a good time, it was nice to get some lazy boy treatment at the lodges along the river; great hospitality, hot shower, soft bed, and great food.
Good company
Icing on the cake was the group you put together 20 clients from different parts of the country with various backgrounds. This made it fun and interesting to connect with people you might not otherwise get the opportunity to converse with. With my family ranging in age from 14 to 50, we all found this a bonus.
My wife and kids can't wait to receive your DVD, as the pictures and video shows of our group were fun to watch at the lodge on the 2nd night. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this was a great value and something we will look forward to again!
Thanks again, to you and your team. Paul"

"I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to thank you for a great trip last weekend. It was amazing as always! Everything was perfect: guides, water, weather, food, drink, lodges etc. As much as I thought I was going to miss not having some of my old favorite guides on the trip it was great to meet some new folks! Jen, Bill and Ted were new to me this year, however certainly not new to the river (I couldn't believe the years of experience on the water the crew had). They were great both on and off the water! Always good to see Hose, Tim and Grant, they are truly people that I look forward to seeing and spending time with every summer. I was telling Travis that I want to grow up to be Tim some day, unfortunately I think I missed my window. Those of us in the service industry don't always hear positive feedback and I want you to know that you and your crew have got this thing dialed in. The whole thing is really first rate and your staff provide great customer service (either you do a great job of hiring or there is just something about river guides (maybe a little of both)), that was my fourth OTT trip and you are batting 1000! Again, thank you for all that you and your staff do, you have provided me with life time memories!

Special information
- This is a custom departure, meaning this trip is offered on dates that you arrange privately with the provider. Additionally, you need to form your own private group for this trip. The itinerary and price here is just a sample. Contact the provider for detailed pricing, minimum group size, and scheduling information. For most providers, the larger the group you are traveling with, the lower the per-person cost will be.
Itinerary
Day 1: With organized groups who generally have their own transportation it is often easier to meet the guides and equipment at the put-in in Happy Camp. Our booking agents will help you make sure this is the best route, but the majority of the time it works best. At the put-in on the Klamath River your head guide will quickly work with the trip organizer to ensure all youth are in the right type of boat for the trip. The head guide will then give a thorough safety and paddling orientation before heading downstream towards the many Class II and III rapids. The group will also receive the dry bags at this time. The dry bags are where everyone will store their personal items for the trip. Please see the packing list and the travel information for more details. Today has some great white water to get the kids going along with some wonderful swimming holes. Class III rapids such as Kanaka, Devils Toenail and The Trench will help work up an appetite for lunch. Around lunchtime the group will pull over for the first riverside lunch. After lunch the group will continue down through more thrilling Klamath River white water before finding a nice beach for camping.
Evenings in camp are an ideal time to carry out your organizations goals. If you are Boy Scouts we are experienced helping fascilitate merit badge completion and for other organizations this is perfect time for games, swimming, group meetings, or mentoring. Nights on the beach offer a unique distraction free time with your kids.
Day 2: After breakfast, take your time packing your gear and lathering on the sunscreen while the guides pack the rafts. Today is another day of Klamath River rapids such as Ferry Point and Independence Creek along with some great swimming and perhaps even a side hike. Picture your kids, swimming, laughing, smiling, and creating memmories they will cherrish for years to come.
Sometime in the early afternoon the group will arrive at the takeout. Do some final swimming and say goodbye to the Klamath River while the guides pack up the gear and get ready to drive back.
