DAO uses highly skilled guides who have been educated about the special needs of our participants. Many DAO guides return year after year.

DAO programs range from one-day trips to weeklong camps, consisting primarily of rafting and inflatable kayaking on the Trinity River. Longer camps also focus on building river skills through challenge progression, and may also include rock climbing, hiking, gold panning, or ropes course sessions for variety. The safety and well-being of our participants is always our number one priority.


DAO operates under permit from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, and is an equal-opportunity service provider.
