One Unforgettable Day. A Year’s Worth of Memories.
Looking for the perfect way to kick off the school year—or end it on a high note? The Outback Kids Adventure Day in Squamish offers an unforgettable outdoor experience for school groups of all ages and sizes.
Just a short school bus ride from the Lower Mainland, our riverside rafting resort in the Squamish Valley sets the stage for a full day of fun, teamwork, and adventure. In the morning, students form teams and take on exciting Survivor-style challenges inspired by the hit TV show. After a delicious lunch, it’s time to hit the river for a scenic float on our kid-friendly Cheakamus Splash or a more thrilling ride on the Wet & Wild Elaho Exhilarator.
Planning for a large group? No problem! We’ll split the students in half—one group starts with Survivor challenges while the other rafts, then they switch in the afternoon. Everyone gets the full experience.
The day is easy to organize and even easier to enjoy. Teachers and parents love how stress-free it is—our professional guides take care of the fun and safety, so adults can relax, take photos, or even join in the rafting adventure themselves.
With washrooms, changing areas, picnic spaces, and the stunning natural surroundings of the Squamish Valley, this is a school trip designed for comfort, connection, and excitement—rain or shine. Want to add a camping night to the experience? Let us know—we’re happy to recommend great local spots.
From confidence-building to memory-making, your students will LOVE the Outback Kids Adventure Day!
“We had a great time. The staff on site were fabulous. They made the day an unforgettable one for our students. The Survivor activities were excellent. The rafting went very smoothly and everyone had fun splashing and paddling their way down river. The guides did an outstanding job of keeping everyone upbeat and feeling safe and positive. Thanks again for your part in organizing this event for our group. We look forward to doing this again next year.” ~ John Colbourne, Glenayre Elementary
Watch Ecole Boundary Elementary students enjoy their Outback Kids Adventure Day with Cheakamus Rafting and Survivor …
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 fun-filled Cheakamus Splash rafting adventure. As you raft down the glacier-fed Cheakamus River between old growth forests, you’ll experience the excitement of gentle rapids and see a variety of birds, wildlife, waterfalls, and the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia. At the same time you’ll learn about the intriguing Squamish First Nations history, a key part of the history of the area.
Of course anytime kids get around water, you know there will be a water fight! Perfect the art of splashing others (you never know when the Splash Monster will rise out of the river!), and get a chance to cool off with a quick dip in the pure, glacier-fed, jade-tinted water.
It’s an amazing day your students will cherish forever.

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.
