River Rats Program

Make summer unforgettable with River Rats Adventure Camp—a joyful, active week-long day program for kids who love the river and the outdoors! Centered around the beautiful Slocan River, this camp offers a perfect mix of gentle water fun, beach games, team activities, and nature discovery. It’s designed for beginners and adventurers alike, with no pressure to tackle whitewater—just safe, splashy play and lots of smiles.

Mornings might include easy paddling on calm sections, floating with the current, or SUP games, while afternoons bring beach soccer, epic water fights, nature walks along the river trails, scavenger hunts, and creative river-themed challenges. Small groups and certified guides ensure every child feels confident, included, and excited to come back each day. Build friendships, confidence, and a lifelong love for the Kootenays—all in a fun, low-key environment.
