Hop out at the launching point and get outfitted with your pfd (life jacket), helmet, and paddle. After the river safety orientation, you'll break into groups and dive into The PM Express down the South Fork American River Start out with some bouncy whitewater and a chance to brave "Swimmer's Rapid", a small wave train, out of the boat -- it's a fun way to cool off in the hot summer. Next, the river builds and enters the "Gorge", where the rapids come non-stop for six miles! You'll be rewarded at the end with cold drinks and snacks before you take a bus back to camp. Your guides will be there to thank you for coming and give you photo coupons good for money off your rapid photo purchase (if you wish). Nobody's going to be calling you boring any time soon.
