Who is Rock-N-Water?
Rock-N-Water is a Christian Camp located an hour West of South Lake Tahoe in California. We have been leading church youth groups whitewater rafting since 1989. Our Christian staff are not only trained camp counselors, but also outdoor adventure guides. It’s our passion to not only get youth groups into God’s creation, but to also help them to experience the joy of God’s living word through those outdoor experiences. Every trip we lead includes time intentionally set aside for Biblical devotionals.
A perfect fit for Church Youth Groups
- Christian Guides
- Partners in Ministry
- Onsite Camping available at a low price
- Customizable trips designed to best meet the goals of your group
- Built in Biblical Devotionals (free)
- Simple pricing: No hidden taxes or fees – the price you see is the price you pay

Details & Possible Upgrades for your Christian Mini Retreat
- If you would like to add one more night and meal onto your trip, it’s only an extra $22/person.
- There is an extra $15 per person fee for doing adventures on a Saturday or Sunday. Why weekends cost more?
- 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.
Water Flow Statement from El Dorado County
El Dorado County ask that all rafters on the South Fork of the American River be aware that "Water flows in the South Fork American River result from releases from facilities located upstream. Such water releases are not subject to the control of El Dorado county or commercial rafting companies operating under permits from El Dorado County."
