River and Rock Adventures American River Outdoor Education program is offered from April through September in combination with white water rafting, but non-rafting related outdoor education trips can be coodinated in the off-season as well. The program is a week-long program, but we have worked with schools and organizations to customize a program that best suits their budgets as well, which can even include adding activities not centered around the American River.
