3 Day Mild to Wild

We want to be up front with our guests on everything their trip will include and what they should remember to bring along, that’s why we’ve built lists covering what gear and items to grab before the big day. On our 3 Day Mild to Wild, AVA provides everything except for sleeping bags for your trip. We also will suit everyone with splash jackets and wetsuits at no extra charge. Our cabins are located on the creek with easy access to hiking and walking trails. Each cabin is equipped with a private bathroom and shower, a small space heater, and electricity. AVA will provide pillows and linens for your stay, and you’ll also have access to picnic tables and charcoal grills on the site.
