About
We’ll kick off their day with a series of age-appropriate neural and physical challenges adapted from the popular SURVIVOR television series. We’ll split your group into Survivor Tribes, with each bonding quickly by designing their own tribal flag and song. Then it’s straight into a series of fun and engaging challenges that will have them working closely as a team, cheering each other on, and celebrating success together.
Once the challenges are completed, everyone will reconvene back at the raft base for a delicious lunch.
After lunch it’s time to embark on the high energy, wet and wild Elaho Exhilarator rafting adventure.
Our talented team of professional river guides will teach you the skills necessary to ride big waves and catch air as you navigate down the Class 3-4 Elaho and Squamish Rivers. Your courage will be tested as you travel through the infamous “Devil’s Elbow” section of the rapids, as seen on TV’s famous Eco-Challenge Adventure Race. Depending on the water levels, you’ll also be able to swim through some small rapids, “ride the bull”, and enjoy a few laughs as your classmates scramble to stay on board.
Along with some of North America’s most exhilarating rapids, your river journey will take you through approximately 16 kms of British Columbia’s most inspiring wilderness. Take time to appreciate your surroundings and enjoy the world-class scenery including old growth forests, dormant volcanoes, towering glaciers, and stunning waterfalls that cascade hundreds of feet toward the river. If you’re really lucky you’ll get a glimpse of the local deer, beavers and bears which often stop by the river’s edge.
This is white water rafting at its best! It’s an amazing day your students will cherish forever.

How to reserve your Outback Kids Adventure Day
As word of this unique program spreads throughout Lower Mainland schools, popular dates always fill up fast. Don’t be disappointed. We recommend you or your PAC reach out to us sooner rather than later to reserve your date.
Reserving your date is easy. A deposit of 10% will hold your school’s date, with final payment due 30 days in advance. Within 14 days of the event you may add or decrease numbers, however, due to staffing requirements unfortunately cancellations within 14 days and no-shows on the day of the event will not receive a refund.
Upon receipt of your deposit, we’ll send you an information kit containing everything you, your school and parents will need to know to fully enjoy the day and be informed about it.
