Whether you are looking to get your school group out on the water with rafting, or more into soaring through the trees on a zipline tour, AVA has the School Trip for you! With 2 zipline locations and rafting throughout the state, you’ll find the perfect adventure for your group.
Our trips on the Upper Colorado River out of Kremmling, Colorado are calm enough for children of all ages and a perfect way to get out in the wilderness for nature lessons. For an added dose of interactive fun, consider doing our inflatable kayak trip instead, where each member of the group gets their own small boat.
There are several rafting trips around the state that are safe and easy enough including half-day, full-day and multi-day river trips! Come camping at our Granite/Buena Vista Outpost for free with a full day rafting trip. The Arkansas River, specifically the Browns Canyon section, is one of the most popular stretches of river run commercially in the United States!
