Summer Camps:
Rock-N-Water offers Christian summer camps in California with outdoor adventures like rock climbing, river rafting, kayaking, and more!
White Water Kayaking Trips
Spend a day rafting Class II white water in inflatable kayaks (Fun-Yaks). Our Christian staff and guides will teach you the basics for our white water kayaking trips before we head down the river to meet the waves face to face as you enter rapids at water level! Work in pairs to navigate your yak for a fun, challenging, and growing experience of a lifetime. The South Fork of the American River in Northern California has a Class II section of whitewater located on the Upper Section of the South Fork which provides white water inflatable kayak trips full of adventurous fun for Church youth groups, families, individuals, or Christian private schools. The section takes about 3 hours to yak down during the summer months.
Family Camping at The Cove
Want to camp in comfort? We have three RV sites located at our group camping location on the banks of the American River. These are great for anyone visiting the Coloma and Lotus areas who would rather camp with more comfort than a tent! bring your own RV and enjoy time with family & friends at The Cove Campground. You can reserve your spot now on the hipcamp website.
An Incredible Canyon Hike
Explore one of our astonishing canyons in California and discover adventure within the peace and beauty of God's amazing creation. Students love to hike and swim through these deep canyons to find great adventures and isolated splendor on our canyoneering guided tours. These canyoneering trips are some of our guides absolute favorites! With a significantly lower price tag than a day of white water rafting, many Christian youth pastors initially add in a day or two of canyoneering to their Christian camp to help keep their costs down on the first year. Only to come back with their kids begging for more canyoneering! We offer 5 unique canyoneering trips with varying levels of difficulty. Some canyons crystal clear pools to swim in and others waterfalls and underwater tunnels to explore!
One Day Rock Climbing Adventure
Join us and our experienced guides for a day of rock climbing in the secluded Billy Goat Gorge. First, we will spend time rock climbing, and or rappelling off a cliff. Then, in the afternoon we normally spend our time exploring a beautiful canyon. Our climbing location has multiple routes to give climbers of any experience level a challenge throughout the day. Our Rock Climbing trips are a great way to help your group experience God through challenge, exploration, and bible studies in the outdoors. We offer climbs with a wide variety of challenge, so we can promise an adventure at any skill level with no climbing experience necessary.
