Adventure programs offer participants the chance to push their physical and emotional comfort levels in a safe environment. While the risks taken may be physical, mental, emotional, social, or even spiritual, the outcomes can be profound as each individual comes to a new level of self-confidence, awareness and understanding. The rewards of these programs can last a lifetime.
All Blue Ridge adventure programs adhere to a philosophy of Challenge by Choice. The participants decide what level of challenge they feel comfortable with and push themselves to reach that goal. The participant will find support and encouragement from the group to help them achieve their goal. Success with any task is not determined by completion, but by the participants giving their best effort.
Please note that Adventure classes fall in a higher pricing bracket than our other classes, email to ask about rates.

Whitewater Rafting on the Chattooga River
If you are scheduled for a rafting trip, contact Blue Ridge for the Rafting Release Form. Each of the participants will need a copy before the trip.
In May 1974, Congress declared the Chattooga River a “Wild and Scenic River” meaning, among other things, that it cannot be dammed or developed up to a quarter mile of its banks.
Except when schedule conflicts exist, we book trips with Wildwater, LTD, a professional rafting company with over 24 years guiding experience. We travel by van to the river (approx. 25 min). Participants wear lifejackets, helmets, and wetsuits (in cold weather).
We raft Section III, a beautiful five mile stretch of class II and III (one class IV) rapids. Wildwater guarantees a professional guide in every other raft.
What to bring for a rafting trip: Shoes that can get wet and stay on feet (i.e. no flip flops, Crocs, or slides), a bathing suit, sunscreen and a bag to carry wet clothes in. During cooler weather also bring wool socks, polypropylene or other synthetic clothing such as base layers or leggings (NOT cotton). In addition, students may want a wool sweater or fleece to put on after rafting.
