About Rafting in California with Rock-N-Water
Rock-N-Water is a group of Christians who want to impact youth with the joy of God’s Living Word through rafting adventures. We focus our California whitewater rafting trips on biblical principles, and we use the help of nature, friendship, and challenge to develop character.
We do South Fork and Middle Fork American Rafting Trips, and we take canyoneering trips through the beautiful river canyon of the North Fork of the American River. Learn more about Rock-N-Water.
Can I go whitewater rafting if I don’t know how to swim?
Most rafting companies, Rock-N-Water included, do not require swimming ability for Class III rafting. On all river trips, you will be outfitted with a PFD, or lifejacket, which will give you lots of extra flotation if you end up in, or chose to be in, the river. Chances are, you will not fall in the water at all on any of our rafting adventures, but if you do, the PFD will take care of keeping you on the surface. We take non-swimmers rafting every year, and it is always a great time.As difficulty increases, some outfitters will require swimming ability for Class IV or V rapids. We WILL take non-swimmers on our Class IV trip on the Middle Fork of the American if they have had a recent Class III rafting experience.
Details & Possible Upgrades Rafting: Whitewater
- By default, each of the above multi-day rafting trips have you arrive around 7 PM the night before (eating dinner before you arrive), and leaving around 6 PM (eating dinner on the road) at the end of your last adventure. If you would like to do the same on a one day trip (we strongly encourage it), it’s just an extra $22/person.
- If you live more than 3 hours away, or you just want to finish your trip with even more awesomeness, we recommend you add dinner and another night of camping & campfire time to the end of your trip for just $22/person.
- There is an extra $15 per person fee for doing adventures on a Saturday or Sunday. Why weekends cost more?
- For river rafting trips that take place October through June there is an extra $15 per person fee in these months. What's it cover?
- T-shirts can be ordered for the whole group at $15/person.
- If you are comparing our prices with generic rafting outfitters, please be aware that unlike prices listed for most of their south fork american river rafting trips, our prices already include all taxes and fees.
